Our Story
Our Story
Although Trilicon is just getting started, its history goes back over 20 years, when three MIT doctoral students flirted with some entrepreneurial ideas for medical devices. When real life caused a change in plans those efforts were put on hold--until today. Trilicon's original trio was focused on a multidisciplinary, system solution approach to medical problems. Today many of those same issues exist across a wide range of industries...and many new problems have arisen as the world becomes more connected. So we're back (ok, for now just one of us)--older, wiser, and ready to help make your product safer.
Meet the Team
Trilicon isn't a very big team right now--after all, we're just starting out and we can't (yet) hire all of the great people we know. But we have the right talent at our fingertips ready to help Trilicon succeed. Here are some of our key players.
