Funding's double-edged sword for company culture with Martin Stenfeldt

Season 2 · Episode 1

Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 32:51

In the first episode of Beyond the Purpose, hosts James Cox and Jay Webster sit down with Martin Stenfeldt, CEO at UNEEG Medical, who brings deep experience working with scale-up organisations across life sciences.

The conversation centres on leadership at the moments that matter most: Martin's eight leadership archetypes, why commercialisation is so often approached the wrong way, and what he calls the funding trap: no traction, no future.

Martin's new book, Scaling Life Sciences, expands on many of the themes covered in this episode and is available now at scalinglifesciences.com.

It's a thoughtful, challenging conversation that sets the tone for what this podcast is about: understanding what drives exceptional people to build, lead and scale life sciences companies, and what others can learn from them.
