Cardiac imaging company has raised €26m in funding so far and will seek FDA approval in 2023
Yet, when it comes to publicising their efforts, “we’ve been very stealthy”, says Lahart. “We’re not people who go out and talk a lot about what we do,” Hennersperger adds. “And we do this deliberately most of the time.”
With key milestones on the horizon, the partners’ attitude to publicity has changed somewhat since they were both named EY’s emerging Entrepreneur of the Year last November. The win has probably been the “biggest thing” so far for OneProjects on the PR front, says Lahart. “I could see he was a very smart guy,” says Lahart, “but it was way more than that. Finding a partner, the technical skills is not going to be what does it because you can hire someone for technical skills. We started the programme in August — it’s a 10-month programme — I would say probably by October, I kind of figured myself and Christoph have a certain chemistry that was working really well together.
Problems in healthcare are not difficult to find —“all you need to do is read the press and you’ll find them”, quips Lahart —and soon-to-be business partners found hundreds in the end. The trick was to whittle them down to one problem or project that could be a global-scale business. Their answers perhaps underline some of the personality differences between the two co-founders. Yet, Lahart and Hennersperger, who run their dual nationality company very much in collaboration, insist their leadership styles rarely clash and, in fact, few if any cross words have ever passed between them.
Every year since 2015 has been entirely different and that makes it so exciting. That’s part of the journey of the entrepreneur and why I enjoy it as much as I doIf it sounds hectic, that’s because it is. How do the pair manage to switch off? With varying degrees of success by the sounds of it. Both men have gotten married and have had children since founding the company, something that they think has informed their attitudes and also their motivations and lifestyles.
