Forum Topics M7T M7T Bear Case

Looks like PME got all the spoils from Trinity with their announcement this week, and M7T's involvement will roll off.

The contrast between these two couldn't be more stark. Meanwhile, Mike Lampron is paying himself generously.

Wow.

$750k/year contract became a $30m/year contract under PME.

(I'm sure PME is providing more services outside of M7T's initial scope, but still)

@mushroompanda and @thunderhead I held $M7T (a small position, from which I lost about 8% of my capital,... plus the oppportunity cost) from 2021 until 2024.

My initial thesis was: good SaaS product (award winning), well-tuned to image assessment and diagnosis outside the clinic, competent-if-uninspiring management... a mini-$PME ... as I saw the dust from the $PME bus riding off into the distance, while still wanting to play in the medical imaging space (after all, one of my PhD examiners was a Nobel-Prize winning co-inventor of MRI, so I have a nostalgic connection to the industry!).

Sadly, it never gained critical mass - the operating economics (which I've published here multiple times) never emerged. It just didn't scale. There was a better offer in the market.

I recognised in Jan-24 that equipment-agnostic medical imaging software is looking like a winner-takes-all (or at least the most) play.

Trinity looks like another nail perhaps, although I've now stopped even following $M7T, as I can't even make the case to invest my research time.

Fascinating stuff.

I have held the also-rans too, in a similar vein @mikebrisy. I sold out of IME a long time back, but kept a residual position in M7T which is well underwater, so 8% doesn't sound too bad at all :)
