Founder & CEO, Hospital Discharge Readiness Engine
You will take on the challenge of turning a strong healthcare thesis into a scaled, defensible business as Founder & CEO. You'll define the product wedge, decide what the first version of the platform should focus on, and identify which clinical specialty proves return on investment fastest. You'll build the first working discharge readiness dashboard, integrating with German hospital information systems. You'll deploy at a partner hospital and prove measurable reductions in discharge delays within a matter of weeks. You'll design a pilot sales model that shortens the typical lengthy hospital procurement cycle, and you'll grow the platform vision from a discharge engine into a full hospital digital twin. Along the way, you'll build the founding team, raise capital, and establish the venture as the category leader for discharge intelligence in the DACH region. You'll get access to a ring-fenced build budget, an embedded studio team, specialist support across data science, applied AI, fundraising, legal, finance, PR and commercial partnerships, plus a dedicated network to help you get started.
