122: Eoghan Colgan, Founder of Continulous, Changing The Face of Medical Training Across the World

Eoghan Colgan was born and raised in Northern Ireland and studied Medicine at Queens University in Belfast
In 1998 he had a near-death experience whilst working on the Ivory Coast and life began to change.
His ambitions to work in the developing world were stopped in their tracks because he was advised to avoid visiting underdeveloped nations after his brush with Malaria.
He did however qualify in Medicine 2001 and moved to Glasgow where life took another twist and in 2004 he Won the O2 Undiscovered Music Award.  So, in 2007 Eoghan left medicine to pursue a career in music, which didn't go quite according to plan.
In 2011 he got married and returned to Medicine, which is where you'd think the story ends.  But, Eoghan is a man with a vision and his experiences on the Ivory Coast had stayed with him.  He created the forerunner of Continulus - bringing world medical experts online to make medical training fair and accessible for all clinicians globally.
In 2020 Continulous won a WeDO COVID award (best pivot) 2021 and won a best new business award at WeDO 2022.  Winning a Scottish edge award in 2022 and entering the EIE investor readiness programme meant Continulous were set to build on initial investment.
Now, a globally renowned EdTech platform helping doctors and nurses all over the world to access expert knowledge fairly and easily, Continulous currently has 10,000 users across 138 countries, partnerships with numerous international organisations and they've just sold to their first university.  They've received an education grant from Medtronic - largest medtech company in the world.  They're also busy raising new funds to take the business even further.
