Goldman Sachs Talks

Will Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WHOOP

Will Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WHOOP, discusses his journey building WHOOP and the role he sees it playing in transforming healthcare.

On the future of wearable technology: “I think longer term, wearable technology has the potential to really push a lot of curative costs to being preventive costs in the healthcare space. If you can identify something before it happens, obviously that’s a lot more efficient than well after the fact.”

On staying inspired in a challenging business: “It’s an amazing feeling to put something out there that people get value out of or that could even potentially save someone’s life. I think in a lot of ways that’s what inspires you to work late and work hard and keep driving on technology that often has a lot of bumps in the road.”
