It is such a pleasure and a wonderful learning experience to be part of the MassChallenge Healthcare track. Leaf Guardian is selected for the Spring 2026 cohort, and we are so excited as this chapter unfolds.
Here’s a sneak peek at the kickoff session in Dallas, Texas. I’m truly grateful for all the connections I’ve built thanks to this program.
Special thanks to my fellow MassChallenge Healthcare cohort mates, with whom I’ve built wonderful friendships and meaningful connections: Grace Qin and Sai Zhou, Ph.D. from CircuCare Inc. ; Khashayar Vakili from ZEeST Bio, Risa Stein, PhD, MA, Dr. Jason Johanning, Daisuke Tanaka, Ting Wen, Virgil Bideau, PhD, Terri Mock, Lara Solomon, Geoff Stamper, Eydis Lima, Martin Spang, Laura Lyons and Cheryl Shao.
Every single one of them is building truly impactful innovations that help humanity and our beloved animal companions. I highly encourage you to check out their work!
A big thank you to the MassChallenge team:Taylor Witkin, B. Michelle Williams Tiffanie Tovar, and Aman Sohail, that made the gathering smooth and effective for us.
Fun Fact: We learned to pitch our companies using only 4th-grade vocabulary and language, while completely excluding the top 5 keywords of our core technology! It was so much fun and joyful. I highly recommend you practice this exercise yourself.
