The beginning

We from Fix It Health International are proud to represent Fix It in Europe, Canada, and the USA.

​

Everything started in 2015. It was the time of Start-Up Weekend in Brazil, an event that happened simultaneously in several cities worldwide. At this event, the founders Felipe, a physiotherapist, met Herbert, a biomedical doctor who had already worked with 3D printing. Both had many ideas and the desire to make a difference. From that moment on, they started having fun with the possibilities and began developing a business, Fix It.
 

2016 was a year of great learning, participation in many events, and awards won. And also a trip to Silicon Valley. It was the year of the "start-up lifestyle." It was cool, but this business model didn't pay their bills. The next step was to join a Federal Government program in partnership with Sebrae (Inovativa Brasil), structure Fix It as a company, and run after the projects.
 

Fix It went to Braskem's Acceleration Program, participated in the Shark Tank, and finally, after validating the product with several professionals, launched products at Campus Party in 2017, the year where everything happened. The company has been accelerated by Ace and a group of Angel investors in Brazil.
Currently, Fix It has been working inside the prestigious Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in São Paulo and has an operational branch in the Northeast of Brazil, which serves the franchisees.

 

All processes are adjusted, always thinking of providing more solutions for our customers and patients, and mainly, providing a product that respects the environment and is compostable. The company has constantly been evolving, adapting, and growing nationally and internationally.
