Today, Beck Bamberger sits down with Oliver Keown, CEO and founder of Oath Surgical, a healthcare company building advanced outpatient surgical centers designed to deliver high-quality care at a lower cost.
Drawing on Oliver’s experience as a physician, venture capitalist, founder, and patient, Oath Surgical combines technology, premium physical centers, and partnerships with independent surgeons to rethink how and where surgery is delivered.
Oliver shares his journey from practicing medicine in the UK to venture capital and eventually becoming a founder in the U.S., along with the highs and lows of building a healthcare company. From treating the first patient at a new surgical center and navigating founder relationships to expanding into new markets and supporting surgeon independence, this conversation explores what it takes to build a new model of surgical care while keeping human connection at the center.
