HealthX Ventures hires from portfolio company Redox

HealthX Ventures has hired Redox Engine’s business development staffer.

taha-jangdaMadison, Wisconsin-based HealthX Ventures has hired Taha Jangda for a partner role from the investment firm’s portfolio company Redox Engine. Redox is a health IT startup that developed a way to use APIs to help healthcare facilities share data.

Jangda worked in business development at Redox for nearly 1.5 years. But at Rock Health’s reception during the J.P. Morgan Healthcare conference this week, Jangda sported a HealthX Ventures name tag and commented that it reflected a recent move.

Mark Bakken is the managing partner of HealthX Ventures. Prior to that role, he founded consulting firm Nordic Consulting. HealthX Ventures declined to elaborate on Jangda’s role with the firm.

Madison has many health IT companies. One reason is that developers who leave Epic tend to start their own businesses in the area, much like the management team of Redox.

Redox President and Cofounder Niko Skievaski recently made the Forbes list 30 Under 30, highlighting young leaders across 20 industries, including healthcare. He shared credit with the company’s employees for helping him get there.
