9. Our Clients
Local and international China-based startups leading their
respective field & acknowledging that teams are key for
sustainable growth.
10. Sebastien Gaudin
Co-founder & CEO of StartupCare
“I have spent all of my career in the health care. Given a choice, I wouldn’t do anything else.”
Upon graduating masters in pharmaceutical and commercial sciences in France, Sebastien worked in
Sanofi, a world leading pharmaceutical company, for twelve years, where he held various positions in
business development and marketing across multiple therapeutic areas and geographic markets.
In 2011, he assumed a management position in Sanofi China focusing on diabetes portfolio and it was
a great experience.
“I met many knowledgeable and committed people (Chinese Ministry of health representatives,
hospital leaders, etc.) and well, I got the sense of all that could be done in this dynamic country,
where many healthcare-related needs remain unmet.” - Sebastien Gaudin
Later on, he got the idea of a digital health startup that could address the consumer’s mistrust for
medical services in China, a recommendation platform similar to TripAdvisor but dedicated to
healthcare. He then left Sanofi to launch The CareVoice in early 2014, and drove the creation, growth
and current spin-off of StartupCare in 2018.
FOUNDERS’ STORIES
11. Jan Velich
Co-founder & Chief Business Officer of StartupCare
“Launching a start-up is like starting a rock band. You need passion, creativity, determination and you
need to love it! So if you want to succeed as an entrepreneur, you need to be a true rock star”
When he was still a middle schooler, Jan left Czech Republic for Canada to pursue his dream and become
a professional ice hockey player. He showed great talent as a young player and was soon considered as a
future prospect. He once represented the Czech national team and was ranked 75th worldwide among
skaters in his age category skaters. However, an unfortunate shoulder injury put an early stop to his
sporting career.
Despite this early setback, his fighting spirit helped in switching career path and Jan became a successful
international healthcare executive with over 10 years of healthcare and strategy consulting experience.
He came to China in 2010, to work at Adelphi FocusRx, an Omnicom Group Agency, where he gained
indepth understanding of the Chinese healthcare system. As former General Manager at Adelphi FocusRx
he led over 100 strategic healthcare projects for Chinese government bodies and multinational
pharmaceutical & medical device companies.
He met Sebastien through work and the two of them soon became friends. After being an advisor for The
CareVoice, he joined the company as co-founder and CBO when the start-up shifted towards insurtec,
and has played a key role in the design and uptake of StartupCare since the very beginning..

roots in the Silicon Valley tech culture, he has over 15 years of experience in product management

16. Talents attraction and motivation have long been a headache for startups. A multi-award Shanghai-based insurtech startup
provides now an unconventional way to support such needs by crafting StartupCare™, a health solution firstly targeted for
startups.
Shanghai, December 19th, 2018 – The CareVoice, a Shanghai-based insurtech startup announced yesterday the official launch
of the 1st
health benefit and insurance for startups in China, StartupCareTM
, committed to helping startups attract and motivate
top talents, and consequently achieve the maximum level of performance.
As an innovative health solution, StartupCare™ combines a premium medical insurance with fully digitalized health and
insurance services. Startup business is running on a high-speed pace so it is critical to have high-performing and efficient teams
who are embracing digital world. StartupCare™ rewards physically active teams, provides 24/7 virtual care and fast-track to
medical professionals with full reimbursement when needed. All that is available from 200 RMB per staff per month, with
different benefits for different levels of staff!
StartupCare™ also transforms the way of designing and promoting employee health benefits. It results from a partnership
between Ping An Health, top insurance company in China, and The CareVoice, an established health insurtech providing
customer-centric SaaS (software-as-a-service) platform digitizing healthcare journey and working together with insurers to
design innovative insurance and improve customer engagement.
“Ping An Health is continuously innovating to bring more personalized and efficient medical insurance products for addressing
consumers and employees’ needs across China. As part of our strategy to address specific segment niches and leverage latest
technologies, we partnered with The CareVoice for launching this innovative solution for startup teams. Not only their need is
rather specific but also the way to engage with entrepreneurs requires totally new approaches. We are very glad for the early
results of StartupCare!” said Alain Peddle, Deputy CEO at Ping An Health.
Since its soft launch in May in Shanghai, StartupCare™ has already gathered nearly 50 local and international startups through
unconventional promotion methods, and has established partnerships with leading co-working spaces and startup accelerators
such as XNode, Chinaccelerator or WeWork.
“A powerful team is the engine behind any inspiring startup stories, a crucial factor whether your venture will fly or sink. You
need to attract top talent, keep them productive and motivated while earning their trust to have your back when things get
tough. Building a strong and energetic team can be a challenging task for any startup founders," said Jan Velich, co-founder &
CBO of The CareVoice, “as a startup, we feel the same and are thrilled to launch a fully digital health solution that provides
startups with unique values and tailored benefits, ultimately unleashing startup dreams coming through.”
The early clients reviews for StartupCare™ have been enthusiastic. “Entrepreneur is a high risky occupation. Luckily, we get
well protected by StartupCare, which provides tailor-made health solution for startups with convenient health service and
cost-effective medical plans," said Huang Xiaolei, co-founder and CEO of Parkbox, leader in smart 24h fitness cabin pioneering, “
so that we high-risk groups can have fewer worries and dedicated more to business.”
Imagine a scenario where a startup team can enjoy weekly sport competition and got rewarded with vouchers to keep them
healthier. When some of its members need medical help, they can simply talk to AI Voice-based Virtual Health Assistant first to
find out whether they need a medical visit. If so, they can get supported to find relevant medical providers, get physician
appointment and e-reimbursement services, all simply on mobile, a faster access to healthcare resources and unprecedented
customer experience.
Sebastien Gaudin, CEO and co-Founder at The CareVoice, explained, “in the course of Ping An Cloud Accelerator we recently
graduated, we have been so amazed by StartupCareTM
take-off and the need for such product and other insurance and team
benefits for startups, that we decided to spin-off this new activity into a new company that is already been backed by our
existing shareholders and poised to a great future considering China has already 4 million startups!”
In the near term, StartupCareTM
will continue to scale up its business impact, further enhance its current health related offering
for startup teams and strive to create more customer value through innovative approaches, to benefit more and more
startups!
