The Guy Behind the Heart Monitor Isn’t a Suit. He’s You, If You Quit Comfort and Bet It All
Let me introduce you to someone.
His name is Jaeson Bang. And no, he’s not some buzzword-dropping Silicon Valley exec who spends half his day “circling back.”
He’s not into hype, he’s into grit. And Future Cardia? That’s not just a company he built, it’s a fight he’s been in for 20 years.
This is the guy who left a dream job at Medtronic to join a startup that promised twice the work, half the pay. He said yes anyway. Then, after almost two decades building heart devices for other people, he walked away again, to build his own.
Not for ego but because he saw a problem no one else was solving.
The Problem Isn’t in the OR, It’s at Home
Jae spent years working with patients in hospitals; open-heart surgeries, chest tubes, wires, trauma. But what haunted him wasn’t the procedures, it was what happened after.
He’d watch people get rolled out in a wheelchair, carrying a plastic bag full of papers and hope. And then they’d go home; where there were no nurses, no machines, no backup plan.
“These patients are most vulnerable when they leave the hospital. That’s when things go wrong, that’s when families don’t know what to do. That’s when doctors can’t get to them in time.”
So he built something for them.
A Two-Minute Implant with a One-In-A-Million Team
Future Cardia is a tiny heart monitor; inserted in 2 minutes, worn under the skin, and built to catch silent signs of heart failure and arrhythmia before they become emergencies.
The tech is smart but the scrappy team behind it? That’s the secret.
Jae didn’t hire paper-pushing execs. He built a crew of engineers who weld titanium, wire circuits, and sleep on factory floors if they have to. People who work with their hands and still think like generals.
“I call us the Dirty Dozen. Everyone here is scrappy, greedy for impact, and humble enough to do the grunt work.”
These aren’t budget-burners in WeWork offices; they’re dogged, focused, and they’ve already:
- Built and tested the device in animals
- Implanted 39 patients
- Collected 60,000+ hours of data
- Begun FDA-track validation
- All while raising money from everyday investors, not just VCs
Why He Said “No” to $5 Million in VC Money
When this all started, a venture firm offered Jae $5M.
He turned it down.
“Because that money comes with control and I wasn’t going to let someone else dictate how we cared for patients.”
Instead, he opened the door to regular people; doctors, nurses, sons, and daughters. People who believed in the mission. People like you; 10,000+ of them.
He raised over $15 million from folks who chipped in $500, $1,000 at a time.
Because Jae knew this: If the goal is to help real people, real people should be able to help build it.
Final Days to Invest in Jae’s Vision
Jae’s not asking for pity, or applause. He’s asking for action.
Future Cardia’s equity crowdfunding round closes June 18. After that, the valuation likely goes up or the round closes altogether.
You can invest with as little as $500.
This isn’t a man building a company for headlines, this is a man building a device he’d trust in his own chest. And yeah, he’s probably already tested it on himself.
