ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Prior to founding MedStack Balaji Gopalan was perhaps best known as the Product Strategist who brought BlackBerry's iconic BBM service to market. Balaji is a passionate advocate of tech for good, platforms, data security and privacy and digital health.
In 2014 Balaji was looking to build a developer platform for a digital identification company called Nimy, and while holding a hackathon he serendipitously met his now co-founder of MedStack, Simon Woodside.
Fast-forward a few years and many accelerator-incubator experiences later – MedStack has affiliations with Dreamit Health, Creative Destruction Lab, 500 Startups, and Toronto’s DMZ – this partnership has grown to support over 70 (and still growing) digital health, health-tech and medical device companies in both the US Canada.
With a growing revenue stream, even through the pandemic, they are also backed by TELUS Ventures, ScaleUP Ventures, Panache Ventures, BCMF Ventures and the Ontario Centres of Excellence, among others, and have received numerous awards and recognitions including the Canadian Innovation Exchange Top 20, Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance Award, being named to PWC's list of top companies changing healthcare in Canada, and TechCrunch Disrupt pick.
When not leading his company MedStack or acting as mentor for accelerators, Balaji spends his time as a musician and songwriter, father and making breakfast. It was a pleasure getting to Balaji and his mission and vision of enabling companies to build better healthcare systems around the world.
