In this episode Coffee with a Founder, Beck Bamberger sits down with Mike Kijewski, CEO and co-founder of Medcrypt, to unpack one of healthcare’s biggest blind spots: cybersecurity. From ransomware attacks disrupting hospital systems to the growing risks tied to connected medical devices, Mike shares what it takes to protect life-saving technology in an increasingly connected world.
The conversation digs into the realities of building a mission-driven company at the intersection of healthcare, trust, and innovation, and why the stakes couldn’t be higher. Mike also opens up about the founder journey itself: navigating uncertainty, staying grounded when outcomes shift, and building the kind of resilience that lasts longer than any headline or funding round.
Grab your coffee and join us for an honest conversation about building with purpose, securing critical systems, and playing the long game when it comes to meaningful impact.
