    • Medicine

How do you convert an idea in medical school into a company that just raised $11M and has over 1 million users?

Sarim, Yusuf and Maroof were three medical students at Imperial College London. They wanted to help people quit smoking  by delivering gold-standard addiction therapy digitally.

Fast forward to today and they’ve expanded across the Atlantic and have over 1 million users, as well as becoming a multi addiction platform tackling smoking, alcohol and opioid addiction.

We talk about Sarim's story, how to bring an idea into fruition and his advice for entrepreneurial medics.
