Jackson Medical is proud to mentor David. He has maintained a well planned and disciplined budget for the project while prototyping and developing the code necessary to accomplish project goals.

As we near graduation from Newchip Accelerator, we want to spotlight our Venture Fellow, Gic-Owens Fiestan. As a MD/MBA student at The University of Michigan, Gic was able to relay his business knowledge and supplement instruction with MedTech, Healthcare, and the Life Sciences in mind.

Along with a few other companies, Jackson Medical was able to participate in dialogue around the challenges and successes that occurred within the month. Each Mastermind was an invitation to learn more about topics discussed within online modules- but more importantly, they were an opportunity to learn from each other as mutual business leaders.

We are thankful for the opportunity to connect with Gic and look forward to future conversations.
