Viveik Vivekananthan.
Builder. Founder. Operator. Twenty years shipping software that didn't exist yet, from Apple and BlackBerry to startups in AI, healthcare, and fintech.
I've spent 20+ years building things that didn't exist yet.
At Apple and BlackBerry I shipped regulated software at scale during two of the most consequential decades in consumer tech. Since then I've founded and led companies across AI, healthcare, and fintech, raised $12M+ in venture funding, and scaled teams from zero to 40+.
I'm now building BookHealth AI, the agentic AI front office for Canadian healthcare.
I don't build for incremental. I build for transformation.
The AI front office for clinics and care facilities.
Agentic AI for the healthcare front office. Referral-to-booked-appointment in minutes, not days.
BookHealth runs a three-agent system across the front office. PHIPA and PIPEDA compliant, Canadian-hosted, and built to slot into existing EMRs without replacing them.
A long arc of regulated, high-stakes software.

Fractional CPO
Product leadership for Seed to Series A teams that need senior judgment now, not in six months.
Angel checks
Pre-seed and seed cheques into AI-native founders with unreasonable standards.

The fastest path is a call. If it's easier to send a note first, email or LinkedIn both land in the same place.
