Quick answers

What was Jeremy Becker's role at MedConnect?

Co-founder and chief executive. TechVancouver's listing for 14 November 2018 bills him as CEO of MedConnect, the Vancouver Startup Week 2018 speaker page gives Co-Founder & CEO and says he was based in Vancouver, and his own site lists the same title.

What did he tell the TechVancouver audience?

Three lessons: don't disqualify yourself for not being the expert, never stop learning, and pursue purpose rather than passion. He said tying his identity to being an entrepreneur meant that when a project failed, it felt as though he had failed (TechVancouver stage, November 2018).

What did he build before MedConnect?

His own site describes Fresh Entertainment Group, a teenage artist-management and booking company, and Taste Locally, a restaurant marketing venture he launched at 16 in Kelowna and Victoria that ran about 18 months. He then worked as a designer and developer.

What happened to MedConnect, and where is he now?

MedConnect's site still read launching soon in its last archived copy, from July 2019, and the domain has since lapsed. No wind-down was announced, and no citable source for his current role was found when this page was checked in October 2026.
