OUR MANIFESTO
OUR VISION
THE BONE AND THE STAR
It began, as all sacred things do, not in boardrooms or branding decks, but in breath, in the craving for life. Not lifestyle. Not wellness. Not bio-optimization. Life - raw, unfinished, burning through the veins like rebellion at dawn.
We did not build this for investors. We built this because someone died in a hospital bed he couldn't afford.
We built this because children are waiting in parking lots for care. Because women are giving birth alone in counties without OB's. Because veterans are swallowing pain in silence while insurers debate codes...
This is not a startup.
This is an uprising. Not in slogans - but in systems.
We return to the bone. To the marrow where truth lives. To the spinal cord of what Hippocrates once swore:
Do no harm.
And we ask... what happened?
Hospitals became hedge funds.
Patients became customers.
Doctors became billable units.
And the system became a cathedral of denial, built on paperwork and profit margins. But WE remember what care looks like.
LifeFinder: A Manifesto for the Living and the Lost
We remember trust, touch, the honesty of hands.
We remember sitting beside the dying, not calculating what’s reimbursed...
We built LifeFinder not to disrupt. But to RESTORE.
To return power to people, to map a path when algorithms gate the door. To remind the world that the body is not a subscription plan. That sickness is not a sales funnel. That dying should not require a lawyer.
This is the new spine of medicine. Not an app. Not a consultancy. But a compass forged in the night, lit by those we loved too late. George believed. Christine stood. Brian fought. Now, we rise.
This is not for the money. This is for the fire.
For the star behind your ribs...
For the ones who whispered,
“Don’t forget me,” and vanished into forms and silence.
ANNE-CHARLOTTE FORTIER, LIFEFINDER FOUNDER
WE HEARD YOU.
WE BUILT THIS. FOR YOU.
WITH YOU. THIS IS LIFEFINDER.
AND WE FIND LIFE.
The Healthcare Crisis in the U.S.
40%
BLACK WOMEN are more likely to die during childbirth than white women: worse than in Sri Lanka or Kazakhstan.
500%
Hospital price markups routinely exceed 500% for uninsured patients - in violation of all price transparency logic.
10-15x
Americans pay more for the same procedures than patients in Thailand, Mexico, or Turkey - with worse outcomes.
+30M
Americans are still uninsured - and 41 million more are underinsured, meaning they're one illness away from financial ruin.
66%
BANKRUPTCIES IN THE U.S. ARE DUE TO MEDICAL BILLS
Cardiology:
The Global Pandemic That Never Needed a Virus
It doesn’t make headlines. It doesn’t sell fear like a virus or evoke sympathy like cancer.But cardiovascular disease is the silent executioner of our time, claiming over 20 million lives each year — and growing. In cities wrapped in neon and traffic, from Mumbai to Miami, the human heart is failing… clogged, overworked, betrayed. By food. By pace. By pollution. By design.
Modern Life is a Cardiovascular Trap
Forget age. Today, 30-year-olds are dying of heart attacks.Children are on cholesterol meds.Ultra-processed foods, corporate stress, and urban loneliness have created a biochemical disaster. We are overdosing on salt, fat, sugar, and cortisol — and underdosing on oxygen, movement, and joy.
Big Pharma treats the heart like a subscription. One pill to thin your blood. Another to lower pressure. A third to silence your chest pain — all without ever addressing the machine that caused it: modern society.
A Business Model Built on Collapse
Let’s not pretend cardiology is just medicine. It’s an empire. $417 billion USD in 2024 alone.
A single heart surgery can cost $90,000 in the U.S., while patients in India pay $2,500 for the same.
Private hospitals have targets to hit — and hearts to cut.
Prevention? It’s not profitable. Transparency? Buried under layers of administrative decay.
The Global Divide: Where You Live Determines if You Survive…
In wealthy countries, heart surgery is swift but costly. In the Global South, it’s a death sentence. Rural patients wait months for diagnostics. Women die at home from symptoms that were dismissed as anxiety. Millions never see a cardiologist once in their life. And yet, some travel.They cross borders to escape predatory pricing. Cardiology is now a cornerstone of medical tourism.
From Bangkok to Istanbul, cardiac hubs are rising, offering bypasses and angiograms atone-tenth the price.
But how do you choose a clinic when every website looks the same?
This is the war LifeFinder was born to fight.
