♟️ About Us

SPEDA is VC-backed early stage start-up with a working MVP and a paying customer (+ additional customers lined up). Working on medical studies, we saw that the systems are broken and there is a great chance to build something that makes a difference. SPEDA automates the extraction and structuring of health records for academic and pharmaceutical researchers despite missing APIs, making research faster and more economical — ultimately facilitating medical breakthroughs. We see a future where the vast health data is utilized optimally to create a data-based health system and enable better preventive- and personalized health care. We are looking for an experienced, visionary Chief Technology Officer to build the next versions of our product and lead our technology strategy and help drive our company's growth.
