Today I’m thrilled to be joined by two guests as part of our Founders & Friends series! For these shows, we encourage a member of our network to extend the invitation to a new friend to hop on the mic and chat about their founder stories and get their take on building a successful startup!

Joining us is our friend Andrew Gaudry, a Business Development Associate at Broderick Capital, where he helps Canadian entrepreneurs scale their rapidly growing businesses by connecting them with the strategic capital and advisory services they need to really take off. Along with having built a cross-industry network that spans the country, Broderick Capital has also established a strong relationship with Green Acre Capital, Canada’s first cannabis venture capital fund, which is working with Andrew’s team at Broderick to to expedite the growth of fast-moving startups in this field.

Joining Andrew and I is Venky Weylagro, Founder & CEO of MD Connected, where he’s seeking to revolutionize the healthcare industry by offering telehealthcare services to citizens across Canada. MD Connected’s telemedicine clinics reduce wait times from days to minutes. All of this is done without ever sacrificing quality of care, while actually working to improve health quality across the country.

The work Venky is doing and Andrew is helping support are not just noble efforts, but they’re often steeped in the latest technology and are rife with R&D. I’m excited to pick both their brains about the state of startups and healthcare, their approach to building a new business in 2023, and their plans for the future!
