THE FOUNDER
built by someone who has seen what happens without one.
Julian Bolanos
Founder and CEO, Anchor Advance Care LLC
Julian is an MD/MBA candidate at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the Robert H. Smith School of Business — one of only two students in the joint program.
anchor was not conceived in a business school classroom. It came from watching what happens when patients arrive in critical care without documented wishes, from losing a family member to glioblastoma, and from recognizing that the tools that exist to prevent that situation are inaccessible to the people who need them most.

why this founder for this problem.
The MD/MBA combination gives Julian the clinical credibility to have these conversations with physicians and the business framework to build a sustainable company around the solution. That combination is genuinely rare at this stage — and it informs how anchor is being designed for real clinical workflows from the start.
