Alan Kadish: Aligning Capital and Compassion

Alan Kadish brings a lifetime of diverse experience—from medicine to biotechnology to entrepreneurship—into his latest venture, InvestorMatch.ai & ExpertScale.ai. With over forty years of founding companies, investing, and mentoring, Alan saw a systemic issue in the funding ecosystem: too much time and effort wasted chasing mismatched opportunities. His response was to build a platform that ensures founders, funders, and vendors meet only when there is true alignment.

Raised in New Jersey and New York in a middle-class family, Alan learned early how hard work, curiosity, and adaptability could overcome barriers. From building cars and motorcycles in his youth to earning multiple degrees and becoming a concierge physician specializing in complex diagnoses, his career has been marked by relentless learning and innovation. He spent four decades working with families affected by autism and complex developmental disorders—employing functional testing and a collaborative, whole-person approach that prioritized listening and results. That same mindset now drives his entrepreneurial ventures.

InvestorMatch.ai reflects his belief that alignment and respect create better outcomes. The platform asks detailed, logic-driven questions that uncover whether founders and investors are genuinely aligned, including considerations in their values and long-term impact. “If you're not aligned, don't waste their time. Don't waste your time,” Alan says. For founders, the service is free, supported instead by funders and vendors. The goal is to replace frustration with informed, warm connections that lead to meaningful opportunities.

For Alan, kindness in investing means persistence, consistency, coachability, and respect for people’s time and contributions. He believes strong teams, those willing to listen and learn from each other, build the most resilient companies. He also looks at the whole person, including lifestyle and behavioral signals. If someone’s pace and choices suggest burnout, Alan takes note. “I want to work with people who will still be around in ten years,” he said. “This is about building something that lasts.”

His lens is shaped not only by his investment work but by his continued involvement in synthetic biology and global health projects. One such initiative, funded by the New Zealand government, uses engineered E. coli with customized DNA, called plasmids, to create naturally occurring proteins to reduce listeria and other pathogens in the food supply.

The origin story of InvestorMatch.ai & ExpertScale.ai itself came from a chance meeting. Alan met his co-founders through an invitation-only platform. Within thirty minutes, the conversation sparked mutual curiosity, respect, and a sense of possibility. That connection turned into a trusted partnership, one that continues to grow through aligned vision and shared values. When looking at founders, they look for persistency, consistency, having drive, and positivity.

“Can you bring positivity to the table?”
