Nicolas Weber
Angel · Berlin, Berlin, Germany · 1 investments in Switzerland Biotechnology startups

Healthcare has been my passion throughout most of my professional life – in international corporate environments and as entrepreneur and Business Angel. I co-founded medneo (https://www.medneo.com/) (Radiology as a Service) and OpenRad (https://www.openrad.com/) (IT rails for diagnostic imaging) and helped to buildit from zero to 550+ people – what a journey.

And with OpenRad (https://www.openrad.com/) we bring workflow IT to 3rd party diagnostic centers beyond medneo. I have developed the organization for CEOs to manage the brands independently and I support them actively as board director. Together with my two co-founders André Glardon (https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreglardon/) and Matthias Issing (https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthias-issing/) we – 3minds (https://www.linkedin.com/company/3minds-projects/) – are supporting outstanding impact entrepreneurs on their journey to improve our lives - as angels, mentors and in board functions. We engage directly and via amazing networks like Better Ventures (https://www.betterventures.io/) and Springboard Health (https://www.springboardangels.com/). I'm a grateful member of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (https://eonetwork.org) - the meaningful connections with diverse and inspiring people helped me to grow as a person.
