“You know, startup ideas are oftentimes an evolution. My two co-founders, Diego Rey and Leonardo Teixeira, were Ph.D. students in their third or fourth year of their Ph.D. They had come up with an idea for a new technology, but it really wasn’t until about three or four months working together that we figured out not just what the new technology would be, but what was the best way to use it to improve – it was a healthcare technology – to improve patient outcomes in a way that could be funded by an outside venture capital or a private funding group. It was a collaborative effort.”
