In a move that signals its continued growth and commitment to innovation, Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic and South-East—a well-established U.S. network for angel investors and startups—has just named Christian Haller as its new Regional Vice President.
This appointment is a big step forward for the forum, which connects accredited investors with promising entrepreneurial ventures across the region.
Meet Christian Haller: A Veteran in Startups and Strategy
With more than 35 years of experience under his belt, Christian Haller isn’t new to the world of startups, venture deals, or building companies from the ground up.
He’s been a guiding force for many early-stage businesses, especially in the health tech and medtech spaces.
Right now, Haller is on the board of a number of trailblazing companies, including Tympanogen, Accelera.US, and ALM Orthopaedics.
He’s also the founder of LifeLine Medical, one of the first companies to focus on wearable health technology, well before it became a trend.
A Track Record of Helping Startups Scale
Christian Haller also founded The RavenOye Group, LLC, where he’s worked closely with seed and pre-seed medtech startups, helping them move from the idea stage to real-world commercialization and sustainable growth.
His ability to mix strategy with practical business development has made him a sought-after advisor.
In addition to being hands-on in the business world, Haller is also a big name in entrepreneurial education.
He created the Entrepreneur’s Boot Camp for AdvaMed, and launched the Japan Medtech Partnering Forum with EBD, offering valuable platforms for knowledge-sharing and international networking.
