Most healthcare only really starts when something goes wrong. Even is trying to flip that.Recorded live during Italian Tech Week in Turin, this episode of the EU-Startups Podcast features Matilde Giglio, Co-Founder of Even, India’s leading healthcare startup redesigning access to affordable, high-quality care for over 1.3 billion people.Backed by Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, Lachy Groom, Alpha Wave and others, Even has raised over $60M since launching in 2021, grown to a 400+ person team, and built a unique membership that gives Indians unlimited, cashless access to primary care, diagnostics, specialists, and hospital cover – all wrapped around a strong preventive model.We talk about:– Why Matilde chose India and what she saw in the system– Why most “prevention” models fail – and how Even makes it work at scale– How they redesigned incentives so doctors, patients and Even are aligned– What it means to build hospitals that feel like part of life, not a last resort– Where AI is genuinely useful today – and what stays deeply human– The hardest founder moments building in a complex, regulated system– And the headline Matilde wants Even to make five years from nowTakeaways:– Even blends care + cover in one model, not two separate worlds.– The core bet is prevention first, not “wait for sickness then pay big.”– Incentives are redesigned so patients, doctors and Even win on better outcomes, not more procedures.– AI augments care, handling workflows and insight – but trust and empathy stay human.– Success is measured in health outcomes and satisfaction, not just ARR or procedure volume.Chapters:If you haven't already....
