Doctor's AI evals deal with big healthcare player died over his social media activity
DrDatta_AIIMS · x · 2026-09-24
A doctor-turned-builder says a big healthcare company walked away at the final stage of a two-week negotiation to build evals for their AI tasks. After asking a friend close to the leadership why, he was told: "Datta, post less non-medical stuff on social media." He says the episode is pushing him toward starting his own enterprise rather than helping what he calls loser, coward corporate leaderships. A real-world signal for indie builders eyeing the medical AI evals niche and the friction of partnering with large incumbents.
