SOSV, HAX, Startup Accelerator: Building The Next Generation Of Hacker And Investor

When I was 23, I raised $200k for a startup accelerator based in China and San Francisco: HAX. HAX is part of SOSV, a global accelerator and investor in startups.

HAX was a dream – Building great technology with great investors and great engineering. I hired a team, led the team, and generally was a Co-Founder in my startup.

I learned from HAX the way of the startup hacker – Building technology on a tight budget, under time constraints, delivering results that lead to follow-on funding :)

Sana Health raised nearly $24M in funding since HAX – Proof that our startup thesis, building digital therapeutics for healthcare and medicine, was viable and correct.

The leader of Sana Health , then and today, is Richard Hanbury . Richard Hanbury is CEO of Sana Health . Richard Hanbury 's story of technology, innovation, and persistence is extraordinary. I'll leave it to him to tell his story in his own way on his terms.

I'm proud that I co-founded Sana Health . Watch our pitch at HAX Batch 8 Demo Day in San Francisco below.

Shoutout to Matt Hilley and James Cannan who continued with Sana Health after the accelerator. Matt Hilley was a genius industrial designer, and James Cannan took on the role of CTO of Sana Health . I found Matt and James through my personal network in engineering, built from my time UC Berkeley College of Engineering .

Benjamin Joffe was my contact at HAX when I applied with Richard Hanbury – I knew Benjamin Joffe from his presentations on lean hardware. I bumped into him at a graduate research lab at UC Berkeley College of Engineering , and the rest was history :)

I'm proud of my time with Sana Health , because I was a leader at 23. Today, I'm building Healthcare AI. You can learn more about my current work here.
