During the early 2000s, Derrick Miles, a former healthcare executive, noticed innovation all around him as crowdsourcing became popular and businesses such as Uber and Postmates were catching fire.
However, Miles also noticed none of the innovation was coming to the healthcare industry. So when the country hit a recession amid the housing crisis, he left the industry.
“I became a CEO at the tender age of 31, but by the time I was about 37, I realized healthcare wasn’t innovating fast enough,” Miles told BLACK ENTERPRISE. “During the downturn in the economy, I raised my hand and took a severance package to become an entrepreneur.”
