EU-Startups Podcast | Episode 145: Matilde Giglio, Co-founder of Even

This week on the EU-Startups Podcast, we sit down with Matilde Giglio, Co-founder of Even, India’s leading healthcare startup that is transforming access to affordable, high-quality care for over 1.3 billion people.

Recorded during Italian Tech Week in Turin, this episode explores how Even is challenging the traditional healthcare model, which often only kicks in when something goes wrong. Backed by Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, Lachy Groom, Alpha Wave, and others, Even has raised over $60 million since its 2021 launch, scaling to a 400+ person team. The company has developed a unique membership model that offers Indians unlimited, cashless access to primary care, diagnostics, specialists, and hospital coverage—all underpinned by a strong preventive care approach.

We discuss why Matilde chose India and what she saw in the healthcare system, how Even is scaling prevention in a way that most models fail to, and how the company redesigned incentives to align doctors, patients, and Even for better outcomes. Matilde also shares her vision for building hospitals that feel like part of daily life rather than a last resort, how AI is enhancing care, and much more!

Key Takeaways:

• Even blends care and coverage in one model, not as two separate worlds.
• The core bet is prevention-first, not “wait for sickness and then pay big.”
• Incentives are redesigned so patients, doctors, and Even all benefit from better outcomes, not more procedures.
• AI augments care by handling workflows and providing insights—but trust and empathy remain human.
• Success is measured by health outcomes and satisfaction, not just ARR or procedure volume.
