Hamed Shahbazi on founder lessons, public markets, and building WELL Health through M&A and digital transformation.
In this episode of the Pender Ventures podcast, host Maria Pacella sits down with Hamed Shahbazi, founder and CEO of WELL Health Technologies. Hamed traces his journey from building TIO Networks, a bill payment infrastructure company acquired by PayPal, to founding WELL Health with a vision to modernize and digitize Canada’s healthcare system. Along the way, he shares what he learned about M&A strategy, the value of pivoting faster, and why the Canadian public markets are a more powerful and underappreciated tool for founders than most people realize.
