Joana Pinto

Entrepreneur, founder, pitcher, mentor and health innovator.
As a seasoned biomedical engineer with a keen business mindset, I bring a dynamic blend of technical expertise and entrepreneurial vision to the world of startups.
My journey includes a pivotal role in successfully co-founding Clynx Health, where we have developed a Medical Device and secured hundreds of thousands in funding through both dilutive and non-dilutive means. A solid foundation in engineering fuels my deep understanding of technology and its potential to transform all industries and the society.
My entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen equip me to navigate the intricate landscape of healthcare startup from ideation to funding and beyond. I have hands-on experience in securing capital from diverse sources (including venture capital investments and public grants), certifying products as medical device, entering the market, and engaging with multiple stakeholders - from clinics or hospitals to insurance companies and patients - positioning startups for growth and success.
Whether you're an aspiring founder or an established startup looking to scale, I'm eager to share my experience and the tools l've acquired over the years to help you harness the power of innovation.
