Pedro Sanchez de Lozada
Pedro Sanchez de Lozada is the founder and CEO of Canid, a New York healthtech company that takes the operational, financial, and data drudgery of running a vaccine program off pediatricians' plates. A Chilean who has spent more than 15 years building software for small businesses (Udemy, Rinse, Merlin), he started Canid in 2020 after managing his pediatrician relatives' practices during the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2025 Canid raised a $10M Series A led by Telescope Partners, bringing total funding to $12.9M, while serving 150+ independent pediatricians across 12 states.
