On today’s founder tape, I’m chatting with Dr. Lincoln Harris, founder and CEO of RipeGlobal. RipeGlobal is the world’s first cloud-based dental simulation platform, born out of Lincoln’s realisation that dental graduates enter the field with only around 7% of the practical skills they need. Lincoln, a practicing dentist with over 25 years of experience, saw a gap in the industry that required an innovative solution. In 2020, as global lockdowns stalled traditional dental training, he launched RipeGlobal, investing $5M over four years into R&D to create and refine a hands-on, cloud-based learning model that bypasses geographic and financial barriers.Despite challenges in creating a new market category - overcoming scepticism, navigating complex product development, and securing buy-in from traditional educators - RipeGlobal now has over 450 dentists trained across 35 countries, and now expanding rapidly, particularly into the US market.This is Dr. Lincoln Harris with Gal Krohn, for The Founder Tapes podcast.   –Follow The Founder Tapes on Instagram, TikTok and LinkedInSubscribe to The Founder Tapes on YouTube!
