[Founder Feature@TC] April 2020
Name: Moses Kakanga, Founder, 35yo, Ugandan
Technopreneur Circle member: Since April 2019
Company: Recornea Pte Ltd (Healthcare)
Website: http://www.recornea.com/
Fun facts about me:
I am an extremely outgoing person and likes traveling, all things music, and fine art.
The company under 20 words:
Recornea Pte Ltd is a med tech company developing implants for reshaping deformed corneas.
What my company name & logo means:
RECORNEA means rebuilding your cornea.
Why I started the company & my journey so far:
We started the company in reaction to an unmet clinical need of treating people with bulging corneas – a disease called Keratoconus. The journey has been good so far but not without its challenges – it has been very challenging to raise funds in Singapore for med tech and biotech before doing clinical trials!
My lightbulb advice:
Transitioning from being an academic, I advise young aspiring entrepreneurs to take a leap of faith to start companies as there is no better time to start company than now. But you need to remember that starting your own company comes with many challenges, it needs one to develop persistence and the ability to start again when one idea fails.
I am looking for:
Investors, Mentors / Advisors, Partners, Talents (team members)
