About us
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.

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.

Getting the most out of AI as a Medtech startup
Location not specified yetYou're building something innovative. But do you actually own it, and can you protect it?
As AI becomes part of how MedTech companies develop products, new questions are emerging around intellectual property, patentability, and ownership. Whether you're building an AI-powered medical device or using AI tools to accelerate development, understanding how to protect your innovation is becoming increasingly important.
Join Medical Innovation Exchange (MIX) and Greenberg Traurig for an interactive Office Hours session with Robert Ward, Partner at Greenberg Traurig, as we explore the intersection of AI, IP, and MedTech.
What we'll discuss:- AI & Patentability: Can you patent inventions developed with the help of AI?
- IP Ownership: Who owns what when AI tools are involved in product development?
- Protecting Your Innovation: What should MedTech startups prioritize when building their IP strategy?
- Investor Due Diligence: What do investors and potential acquirers look for when evaluating a startup's IP portfolio?
- Common IP Mistakes: What should founders avoid early on to prevent expensive problems later?
