Describe your startup. What is your startup's mission, and what problem are you solving and who are your customers?
At Health Galaxy, we are building a Co-pilot that helps young adults become more aware of their heart health and we intend to navigate them on this journey in a more social and engaging way. Think 'gamification' for preventing cardiovascular disease.
Who are the founders, and what sparked the idea for this venture?
The founders met at MIT, both with varied experience in healthcare but a shared passion to solve for more overarching problems at the systems level and the decision making level in India. Dhruv, had come to Sloan with the intention of starting his own venture in the healthcare space. He met Dr. Namit, who was equally passionate about solving for healthcare in India.
What makes your product or service unique in the market?
We are aiming to be platform agnostic (syncing with all types of wearables), creating a common fitness experience across existing competitors and creating our own unique 'heart score' which is a combination of medical, fitness, nutrition and lifestyle indiciators. In addition, we creating 'cash' based incentives to get people to stay health. If all, else fails - we even have a friends & family social nudges to keep our users on track to get a health heart.
What milestones have you achieved so far if any, and where do you see your startup in the next 2-5 years?
We recently 'graduated' as part of the MIT delta v '24 cohort. Over the next 2 years we see ourselves as the go-to platform for cardiovascular health and in 5 years we aim to be the trusted co-pilot for all chronic diseases.
What defines your company culture, and what type of talent are you looking for?
We are looking for people who are equally passionate about the number of lives we impact (money is important but the value we create should be measured in the lives we manage to save), aim to solve the harder problems that life has to offer but can also learn to take things lightly when needed. Life is stressful as it it, we want to be a place where people can feel challeneged and not constrained.
Are you currently open to investments or partnerships?
Yes we are open to investments and partnering with Data Scientists to help build our machine learning algorithms, diagnostic labs to improve quality and access of information in less accessible areas and 'Bio-hackers' who can take our message and deliver it to the people who need it the most.
