Medical Innovation Exchange

Last night was about community.
In a week full of crowded rooms and surface-level conversations, this was the opposite.

People slowed down. They listened. They asked better questions. Conversations went somewhere.
Founders weren’t pitching, they were being real about what they’re building. Investors weren’t scanning the room, they were actually engaged. Operators were connecting the dots in ways that matter.

That’s the kind of community we’re building with MIX, one where the conversation is the value.

Last night at MedTech Minds, we brought the room back to what actually matters in MedTech. Real clinical problems. Thoughtful solutions. Candid conversations.

Dr Henri Justino from PolyVascular and Max Foroughi from Biomedisca took the floor and pitched real problems and unmet clinical needs.

What stood out most was the dialogue after the pitches. Founders, operators, clinicians, and investors pressure-testing strategy, and offering real feedback you don’t get in a panel format.

Regulatory Strategy for AI with Michelle Rubin-Onur, PhDFounder and Principal Consultant of Aetherium Regulatory Consulting

The biggest risk to your MedTech startup isn’t always the market, it’s the journey from a single prototype to a million units.

Mistakes in your manufacturing strategy can burn through capital and delay your timeline by months, if not years. Getting it right from the start is a massive competitive advantage.

This Thursday, August 21st, our MIX Office Hours is a deep-dive session designed to give you a clearer path forward. Catheter-design veteran Damian Carr will share hard-won lessons to help you de-risk your manufacturing roadmap.

This is your chance to learn from an expert and get your specific questions answered.

Your catheter design is innovative. But is it manufacturable at scale?

Medical device tech is moving fast, next-gen geometries, novel polymers, and smarter automation are redefining what’s possible. Falling behind isn’t an option.

Join our next MIX Office Hours with catheter-design veteran Damian Carr.

We’ll cover:
• Strategies to transition prototypes to high-volume lines
• Materials and processes to watch in 2025–2026
• Where automation fits in your roadmap (and where it doesn’t)

No fluff—built for founders, engineers, and operations leaders. Live Q&A included.

MedTech Connect is an evening dedicated to building real relationships, not just a contact list. It’s where Orange County’s MedTech community comes together to connect and collaborate.

Join us on Thursday, August 14th. Put your network to work.

The energy from our last MedTech Connect was incredible, and we’re keeping the momentum going.

Some of the best breakthroughs don’t happen in a boardroom. They happen on a rooftop, in a real conversation with someone who understands the journey. That’s the environment we cultivate at MedTech Connect.

Join us for an evening of high-impact networking designed for Orange County’s leading founders, investors, and industry professionals to spark meaningful connections and accelerate innovation.

Let’s continue building the future of healthcare, together.
