TalTech Digital Health Season 1 Episode 21

🎙️ #21 Sigvards Krongorns: It’s not just about the product—it’s about the fit.

Kicking off our first-ever special episode on Baltic Health Tech with Sigvards Krongorns, Associate at Verge HealthTech Fund and ex-founder who dared to 3D-print a smarter cast (yes, like Iron Man, but for broken bones) and shake up a system that doesn’t like being shaken. He’s battled the three-headed beast of clinical inertia, regulation hell, and scale-up chaos—so you don’t have to.

💡 Sigvards shares the highs, lows, and “did-that-just-happen?” moments from his startup journey, and how those lessons shape his work now backing early-stage founders at Verge.

In this episode, Sigvards and Priit get real about:

  • What it really takes to get innovation into the hands of doctors (spoiler: it’s not just building cool stuff)
  • Why the Baltic health tech scene is quietly cooking up some serious magic.
  • How  Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania differ in the approach to health tech landscape.
  • How cross-border collabs might be the secret sauce to making it all scale.

👉 👀 P.S. This is just the beginning. More Baltic stories coming soon. Follow-up episodes will dive deeper into the ecosystem—because one episode ain't enough!
