It was great to chat toPursueCarefounder and CEONick Mercadantefor this episode of the Venari Podcast’s HealthTech CEO series!
Nick has a ‘mission-driven’ approach to healthcare, having worked in behavioural health for the past decade. After seeing the effects of opioid use disorder at first hand, he wanted to offer practical, stigma-free treatment to people who might otherwise struggle to access it. Since launching in 2019, PursueCare has expanded significantly, adding mental health treatment to its digital therapeutics, and even opening its own pharmacies and in-person clinics, transforming addiction treatment.
It was fascinating to hear about the brilliant work PursueCare are doing – thanks to Nick for sharing these insights.
