Julien Meraud
I lead our Health activities at Hexa, bringing over 15 years of tech industry experience, including nine years as a C-level at Doctolib. My belief is simple yet profound: making incremental changes to existing care systems (slightly more doctors, slightly better softwares) won't solve healthcare's biggest challenges. The future lies in creating entirely new care pathways, designed around innovation rather than tradition.
At Hexa, I’m dedicated to empowering founders and medical professionals to build companies that give time back to the healthcare system. Together, we reimagine care by focusing on what matters most—giving patients the care they truly need and equipping doctors with the tools to deliver it. It’s not just about improving healthcare; it’s about reinventing it from the ground up.
I’m drawn to founders who are passionate about reshaping healthcare through innovation. You don’t need to be a medical professional to launch a company with me—what matters is your ability to navigate the complexities of such a regulated sector and your drive to bring transformative solutions to life.
I value founders who combine bold ambition with a deep sense of purpose. The healthcare industry demands resilience, clarity of vision, and the ability to inspire teams, investors, and stakeholders. Concretely, I look for founders who are:
- Multi-skilled and agile: you’re not only a tech expert; you also excel in areas such as operations, talent management, and navigating regulated environments.
- Purpose-driven: you are deeply committed to the mission of improving lives and creating meaningful impact.
- Smart and energetic: people want to work with and learn from you because of your curiosity, energy and ability to lead.
- Balanced: you understand the critical nature of healthcare, but you balance rigor with the ability to foster a pressure-free team culture.
- Impact-oriented: you know how to prioritize so that you focus on high-impact work that build for the long-run.
