Pedro Sánchez de Lozada is the founder and CEO of Canid, a healthcare technology company that manages vaccine programs for over 150 independent pediatricians nationwide. Before launching Canid in 2021, Pedro spent more than 15 years building tools for small businesses, with key roles at Udemy, Rinse, and Merlin. His passion for healthcare began early — his mother and uncle are both pediatricians — and deepened when he managed their practices during the Covid-19 pandemic, gaining firsthand insight into the operational and administrative challenges facing doctors today. Under his leadership, Canid has raised nearly $13 million to streamline vaccine administration, reduce paperwork, and help physicians focus on patient care. Pedro brings a unique blend of startup expertise and clinical perspective to conversations about healthcare, AI, and the future of primary care. He holds a BA in Economics from the University of Chicago and is committed to building sustainable, patient-centered solutions.
