mama health is an AI-powered healthcare platform that gives life sciences teams exclusive access to structured, real-world insights sourced from thousands of conversations with people living with chronic diseases. Patients start by sharing their healthcare experiences, from first symptoms to ongoing struggles, helping us better understand their overall journey. Our AI chatbot then provides personalized, evidence-based answers to their questions, tracks their symptoms and triggers, and offers ongoing support that evolves with each person’s experience. By putting patients first, mama health uncovers what’s really happening beyond the clinic, from unmet needs and hidden barriers to emotional drivers in the care journey. Unlike traditional surveys or interviews, our platform captures the full story at scale, in the patients’ own words, offering a clearer, more human view of chronic condition management. We transform these lived experiences into real-time, actionable data presented all in one intuitive dashboard. Clients use these insights to de-risk decisions, refine messaging, and shape strategies that reflect the realities of life with chronic illness. We bridge the gap between chronic disease patients and the innovators shaping the future of care with empathy, precision, and the power of AI.

Virtonomy introduces v-Patients, enabling medical device developers to perform development and testing in a virtual environment, thereby accelerating development, reducing risks, expenses, and regulatory burden. Our end-to-end digital twin and simulation solution is based on an ever-expanding database of real clinical data to reflect anatomical variability, demographic diversity and pathological conditions.

Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) is a nonprofit organization that delivers an objectives-based program for massively scalable, seed-stage, science- and technology-based companies. The nine-month program employs an objectives-based mentoring process to enhance the performance of technical founders who learn from the insights of experienced entrepreneurs, with the goal of maximizing equity-value creation. Founded by Professor Ajay Agrawal in 2012 at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, the program has expanded and now has 11 sites across six countries: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Halifax, Paris, Madison, Seattle, Estonia, Berlin, and Melbourne. The program combines 5 elements to help companies transition from science projects to scalable and financeable companies: - An emphasis on objective-setting, helping companies focus on what’s most important to their business - Focused mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs who have founded, led, and sold significant tech companies - Technical advice from world-leading scientists, engineers, and economists - Hands-on support from top business students, who embed within the company to provide business support - Opportunities to raise capital, including angels and VCs from Europe and North America The successful commercialization of cutting-edge science and technology achieved through the program has led to the creation of over CAD $35 billion in equity value.
