In 2017, Manuri Gunawardena was a final-year medical student when she pitched HealthMatch, a machine learning platform matching patients to clinical trials. She won Startup Battlefield Australia.

That single moment helped propel HealthMatch to more than $25 million raised, expansion into the United States, and over 1 million patients served globally.
