Find a co-founder for your healthtech startup

Healthtech and medtech startups combine medical expertise, technology and demanding regulation. Teams that pair a clinician or healthcare professional with a strong engineer and a business lead tend to build products that are both credible and usable in real care settings.

In short

To find a healthtech co-founder, publish your project on EasyCofounder and specify who you need: a CTO, a healthcare professional, a regulatory expert or a business partner who knows hospitals or insurers. Filter talent by skills and location, and plan together for the rules on health data and medical devices.

On EasyCofounder, health founders meet doctors, pharmacists, engineers, data scientists and entrepreneurs ready to commit to a project. Describe the problem you solve and the evidence you have so far, and the matching will suggest complementary profiles.

Building a Healthtech startup: what matters

  • Health data

    Health data is sensitive personal data under GDPR, and many countries add their own hosting and security requirements. Design for privacy from the first prototype.

  • Medical devices

    Software with a medical purpose can fall under the EU Medical Device Regulation or the UK equivalent. A co-founder familiar with certification is a real asset.

  • Profiles to look for

    Healthcare professionals, developers, regulatory affairs specialists, data scientists and people who have sold to hospitals or health insurers.

Frequently asked questions

Does a healthtech startup need a doctor on the founding team?

It is not mandatory, but a healthcare professional as co-founder or close adviser strengthens credibility, keeps the product clinically relevant and opens doors with early users.

How do I find a CTO for a digital health startup?

Publish your project on EasyCofounder, mention your constraints (health data, security, possible certification) and filter technical profiles by skill. Experience with regulated software is a plus.

What are the main hurdles for a healthtech startup?

Regulation, long sales cycles with hospitals and payers, and the need for clinical evidence. A complete founding team anticipates them much better.
