Hello 👋 I'm Perrin, Client Solutions Director at BioTalent and, now, Founder of HealthTechQuity; a community that has been in the works mentally for years and physically for the past six months.
In it's entirety, HealthTechQuity is a community spotlighting tech-for-good in Healthcare and Life Sciences; uniting mission-driven professionals to 'do well by doing good'.
To set the scene, I'll give a little context! I've been in recruitment for seven years and love what I do alongside loving the industry (although that's a separate topic). However, what I don't like is when recruitment becomes transactional; after all we're all humans who crave meaningful connection, belonging and purpose. Unfortunately, transactional relationships occur too often.
Building communities outside of everyday recruitment allows engagement and connection with our market in a much more intentional and human way - so much so that a community becomes it's own entity. Race in STEMrun by Steve Fullerbeing a great example.
Working with leaders in the HealthTech, MedTech and Biotech space for the past four years (calculating I've met 1,000+!) has shown me how mission-driven people are in this space; they truly care and often the problem they are trying to solve is something that has personally affected them. However, there is a constant tension when it comes to raising funds and being profitable simultaneously. The ultimate question being - "How do you do well by doing good?".
By fostering networking opportunities and featuring impactful stories, we aim to connect and spotlight people who are using technology to improve lives and close health equity gaps, whilst building sustainable, economically thriving businesses. Join us for:
🤝 Connection via in-person networking events, roundtables and panel discussions with set agendas and room for healthy debate held out of Boston, New York, Miami and San Diego.
💡 Inspiration via quickfire 1-1 spotlights of mission-driven leaders and professionals.
There is so much coming, and we can’t wait to go on this journey with you so please, follow the page and keep an eye out for the official launch of HealthTechQuity!
If you would like to get in touch in the meantime, please do connect with me on LinkedIn or email me at perrin.joel@biotalent.com.
