## 1 Million Cups Loudoun – Business Presentation

Featuring Lifepulse
Wednesday, April 8 | 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Venture X Loudoun
Join us for an exciting and forward-thinking presentation as we welcome Lifepulse to the 1 Million Cups Loudoun stage.

## About the Presenter

With over 30 years of experience as a technology executive, Dean brings a deep background across startups and major organizations including Time Warner and AARP. Having worked across Silicon Valley, New York City, and the DC tech ecosystem, they bring a unique perspective on innovation, scaling, and building technology that solves real-world problems.

## About the Business

Lifepulse is developing next-generation EKG reading technology powered by AI — designed to be faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive than current methods.
The idea was sparked by a real-world moment: seeing EKGs being manually read during a family vacation and asking a simple question — why isn’t a computer doing this?
That question led to the creation of Lifepulse, a company focused on filling a critical gap in healthcare technology by leveraging AI to improve cardiac diagnostics.
Currently, the company is refining its proof of concept and working toward MVP, with a vision to scale into a transformative solution within the medical and research space.

## Who Lifepulse Is Looking to Hear From

Lifepulse is actively seeking insight and connections from:

• Angel and institutional investors
• Cardiologists and medical researchers
• University and research lab partners
• Pharmaceutical and healthcare innovation professionals
• Experts in AI model development
• Individuals familiar with HIPAA and healthcare regulations
• Anyone connected to the intersection of healthcare and advanced technology

## Current Business Focus & Barrier

The primary challenge is gaining traction with funding and strategic partnerships to move from proof of concept to scalable product.
The team is looking for feedback and connections that can help:

• Secure investment
• Build research and clinical partnerships
• Strengthen positioning within the healthcare and AI landscape
• Accelerate development toward MVP and beyond

## Why Attend?

• Get a first look at a cutting-edge AI healthcare solution
• Offer insight that could help shape an early-stage, high-impact company
• Connect with innovators across tech, healthcare, and investment
• Be part of a conversation at the intersection of AI and real-world application
