About
While working on his Ph.D. in Pathology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Alex took a break to found his first health tech startup. That first company was bought by a company that had just gone public and he has never looked back, starting new companies and running them ever since. He still wants to cure cancer and fix healthcare, but now he does so by enabling hundreds of new companies to get to market faster and more reliably. He has also served as adviser or mentor to over 120 startups. He runs MedStartr Capital as Managing Partner. He also vibe coded this platform in 2026, the 4th version of MedStartr since 2012 evolving from crowdfunding, events, a global community, mentor network, agency, accelerator and funds to this integrated platform. After thousands of deals happening at almost 1,300 events in 44 cities. He created this, an integrated platform for all that to help people connect, collaborate, acquire and create the future of care.
Also proud Dad of two amazing young adults, likes to play tennis, sing, dance and write poetry.
