Founder & CEO (PreSeed Health tech) - Cognitive Decline Early Detection Platform

Founders Factory • New York, NY

6d • Remote

About The Position

Founders Factory is building a new healthcare venture focused on the early detection of cognitive and neurological decline. This venture aims to create a continuous, ambient home monitoring platform using industrial-grade radar sensors to detect the earliest behavioral and physiological signals of decline before they are noticeable to patients or families. The platform will establish a behavioral baseline, track changes in gait, sleep, activity, and other metrics, and alert care teams and families to enable earlier intervention. The initial focus is the US market, leveraging existing reimbursement pathways and the emergence of disease-modifying treatments. Beyond detection, the platform will serve as a caregiver's operating system, providing alerts, care coordination, and reporting.

As Founder & CEO, you will be responsible for transforming this concept into a scaled business. This includes defining the clinical strategy, developing the algorithms for data analysis, securing initial customers and partners, navigating regulatory pathways (FDA), building the caregiver interface, and establishing the company by hiring a team, raising capital, and positioning it as a leader in ambient neurological monitoring.

Requirements

• Founder or senior operator experience in building a health-tech, med-tech, or digital health product from zero to one in the US market.
• Deep familiarity with the US healthcare ecosystem, including Medicare reimbursement, FDA regulatory pathways, health system procurement, or pharma partnerships.
• Strong product and technical instincts, with the ability to reason about sensor data, ML pipelines, clinical validation, and care delivery models.
• Experience selling to complex healthcare buyers such as health systems, senior living operators, payers, or pharma.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, shaping product, defining clinical use cases, and making decisions at the intersection of technology, regulation, and clinical science.
• Passion for ageing, neuroscience, or caregiver support, ideally with personal or professional proximity to the problem.
• Motivation to build a platform that enables early detection of cognitive decline and provides crucial information to families.

Responsibilities

• Define the clinical wedge, targeting specific populations and care settings (e.g., memory care communities, post-diagnosis home monitoring, high-risk screening, clinical trial enrichment).
• Develop algorithms to translate ambient data into clinical intelligence, distinguishing normal aging from decline and providing actionable alerts.
• Secure the first customer by establishing a lighthouse partnership with entities like senior living operators, health systems, pharma companies, or Medicare Advantage plans.
• Navigate the regulatory landscape, determining FDA positioning (wellness vs. device) and building supporting evidence.
• Build the caregiver layer, designing a family-facing experience that provides peace of mind through continuous monitoring.
• Build the company by hiring the initial team, raising capital, and establishing the venture as the category leader.

Benefits

• €275k of spin out capital
• Founder stipend
• Studio budget
• Access to an expert team for support in product, growth, fundraising, AI/ML, design, legal, hiring, etc.
• Full-time venture builder(s) to assist with MVP build
• 6 months of deep operational support post-launch (Accelerator)
• Intros to top-tier investors and corporate partners
• A vetted concept, domain insight, and a head start in a massive market
