David Keegan

Builder & Entrepreneur

I am a builder, designer & serial entrepreneur.

I make complicated things feel simple. Whether that's helping millions invest their spare change or explaining complex surgical systems in intuitive ways.

I've reinvented industries once seen as complex and unapproachable, transforming them into experiences that people love and use every day.

I build intuitive products within highly regulated industries.

Now, I am re-imagining the future of healthcare.
