Today’s Guest:
Hi 👋🏾 I’m Thiv. I love working with or founding startups to make real change happen in healthcare. My life’s mission is to help patients, and providers get the care they need from the health system. The last startup (cofounded) was a telehealth practice management software (Adracare) that was sold to WELL Health Technologies. I’m on to my next startup – Hera Fertility – to revolutionize fertility financing. UWaterloo Alumni. When I’m not working, doing something with basketball or trying to be funny.
