In this episode, Vijay Ravindran, founder and CEO of Floreo, shares how his background in tech and entrepreneurship led him to develop a virtual reality platform that’s transforming how we support neurodiverse learners. Floreo is an FDA-designated breakthrough device designed for individuals of any age and ability, operating at the cutting edge of healthcare, education, and immersive technology. 

Vijay discusses the unique challenges of building in a highly regulated space—from navigating FDA approval to scaling within a dual-market system that serves both clinical and educational settings. He also dives into the importance of team building, empathy in product design, and understanding the full patient and caregiver journey to create tools with real-world impact. 

Whether you're interested in neurodiversity, digital therapeutics, or the future of VR in medicine and learning, this conversation offers valuable insight into what it takes to build purpose-driven innovation that truly moves the needle.

Let’s keep building…
