What we’re about
MIX (Medical Innovation Exchange) is a MedTech ecosystem connecting founders, physicians, investors, operators, and service providers who are actively building in healthcare.
We focus on high-signal, curated experiences that go beyond surface-level networking. MIX is designed for people who want sharper insight, stronger relationships, and real progress across device development, regulation, fundraising, and go-to-market.
Our flagship experiences include:
- MedTech Minds: small, curated masterminds focused on real challenges and peer-level problem-solving
- Private dinners and roundtables: closed-door conversations with founders, funders, and physicians
- Expert sessions and Office Hours: practical insights from people who have built, invested, and operated in MedTech
This Meetup is the front door to the MIX ecosystem. Events here give you a feel for the community, but membership is where the real value unlocks.

What You’ll Gain
- Direct access to MedTech founders, physicians, and investors

Why MIX Is Different
MIX is not a typical networking group.
There are no panels for the sake of panels and no rooms full of spectators. Our events are intentionally curated to keep conversations candid, relevant, and actionable.
We prioritize:
- Quality over quantity
- Building over pitching
The goal is simple: create rooms that actually move the needle in MedTech innovation.
***
Who This Is For
- MedTech founders and operators building real products
- Physicians advising, building, or investing in innovation
- Investors focused on early-stage medical devices and digital health
- Experienced service providers working hands-on with MedTech companies
If you are actively involved in building, not just observing, you’ll fit right in.
***
