Manage episode 490860746 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Jae Carnacion, we sit down with Erich Mattei, CEO of Acrinos, to explore how he's revolutionizing optometry practice management through data-driven consulting. With a decade of experience in eye care sales and a passion for empowering independent optometrists, Erich shares his journey from observing practice owners' struggles to building a consultancy that helps doctors start, grow, and transition their businesses. He reveals how Acrinos is breaking the mold of traditional consulting by productizing their services—offering everything from off-the-shelf business plans to full-scale advisory—while staying true to their mission of making practice ownership "approachable, accessible, and profitable."
Erich also dives into Acrinos' stakeholder-centric growth strategy, leveraging partnerships with organizations like the American Optometric Association to create organic industry impact. From his "less is more" philosophy to the power of perseverance, he offers actionable advice for founders navigating high-growth phases. With Acrinos currently beta-testing a groundbreaking platform to modernize consulting, Erich paints a vision for the future—one where data and collaboration transform not just optometry, but healthcare entrepreneurship at large.
