Mission Driven - Episode 2 - Connor Landgraf (Eko Health)

Connor Landgraf, Co-founder and CEO of Eko Health.

'Mission Driven' is a conversation about startup founders on a mission to address the world’s biggest challenges and how they leverage their social mission for competitive advantage. Today Connor and I explored, in particular, how he leverages his mission for hiring.

Connor and Eko are on a mission to bring more data to cardiac care. We first met back in 2013 when he was an undergrad and president of his class at Cal Berkeley. In the six years since they’ve built a thriving business bringing data science and artificial intelligence to cardiac care. They’re digitizing heart sounds, analyzing and scoring them, integrating with electronic health record systems and assisting physicians to make better diagnoses and provide better treatment. Eko just raised a $20m Series B round so the timing was great to get to talk to him.

In this episode we cover how he built the business and how having a clear mission has impacted hiring, branding, and their overall success.
