In today's episode of Sanity Check we are joined by Manuri Gunawardena, founder and CEO of HealthMatch, a platform that accelerates patient recruitment to clinical trials. As a medical student working in a neuro-oncology research lab, Manuri witnessed patients who had exhausted all traditional medical options, yet struggled to find and access potentially life saving clinical trials. That's where the idea for HealthMatch was born. Since launching in 2017, the business has gone through incredible growth and Manuri was even featured in the Forbes 30 under 30 class of 2019.
Key discussion points:
- How entrepreneurs are changing the landscape of clinical trials, improving inefficiencies to deliver better healthcare
- Defying expectations and breaking into new spaces
- The impact of the pandemic
- Combatting sexism & celebrating incredible female founders
- Raising capital & scaling a company
- The process of learning
- Navigating working with your spouse
- Managing data and the path to monetisation
- Setting milestones
