In episode 2 of the High Potential Start-Ups podcast, we’re joined by CEO of TargTex, João Seixas. 

João has a great ambition and an incredible passion for the treatment of brain cancer, and it’s woven through the operations of the business. During this insightful conversation, João details his career, from his journey from academia to business, what he picked up from each step of his career, and how that molded him into the leader that he is today. 

João always felt that the world of academics and research were very comfortable and familiar territories, and he moved into industry because he wanted to challenge himself scientifically. That led him to TargTex, a business with a big vision - to help increase the life expectancy of neuro-oncology patients. 

In this episode, you’ll find out how to take health from the lab to industry, and get so many more golden nuggets from João.

Welcome to High-Potential Start-Ups, season 1, episode 1!

In this episode, Nick Ross, co-founder of Cavenagh Health, is joined by Shardi Nahavandi, CEO and Co-founder at Tuune. 

During this inspiring conversation, Shardi reveals the personal story behind starting Tuune, why she hires for mindset over skillset, and why Tuune is fundamentally a learning company. 

Interestingly, Shardi started her career in sustainable architecture but after becoming jaded with the industry, she decided to change her career path to health tech. During her studies, however, she struggled to get treatment for a health issue. Combining this struggle with her self proclaimed “allergic reaction to justice” led to the birth of Tuune. 

Alongside this story, this episode is packed with insight into start-up life in the health tech space.
