About me.

Leslie Busick

The short version Hi, I'm Leslie. 2x healthcare founder and former "finance girly" originally from CA, currently in NYC.

The longer version I started in finance then left to start my first company at 26: a DTC women's health platform. It didn't work, but we took the lessons and applied them into a second company: a B2B SaaS platform offering white-label AI and telehealth to clinics. Both were crazy rides. I had a lot of fun, suffered even more, and learned a few things along the way.

Now I advise, angel invest, build things on the side, and try to be useful to early stage founders.

Advising + investing.

Some tech, some AI, some neither. All early stage.

My role: Carried advisor. Surface acquisition targets, open my network, help shape pitch and strategy.

Side projects + tinkering just for fun.

I ship constantly, including outside of work, because I can't not. I genuinely love solving problems and tend to build for problems me or the people around me personally feel. These are some things I've built, am building, or am thinking about. Mostly for myself or friends. Poke around, feedback welcome!
