BioGrip: The Mexican Startup Revolutionizing Bionic Prosthetics

In Mexico, over 75,000 people undergo amputations each year, and 90% abandon their prosthetics due to discomfort or lack of functionality. BioGrip Tech was founded in 2019 to change that reality.

Created by Alan Ventura Hernández Talavera and Israel González López, this Mexican startup develops advanced bionic prosthetics that combine artificial intelligence, mechanics, and electronics to provide independent finger mobility—all without the need for direct neural connections. Their ergonomic design allows users to adapt more naturally, significantly improving quality of life and autonomy.

In our podcast “¿Qué Sigue?”, Alan Hernández shared his inspiring journey—how he and his co-founder turned a personal challenge into a breakthrough innovation. Today, they collaborate with medical professionals to further refine their prosthetics and ensure a perfect, personalized fit for every user.

The Impact of BioGrip in Numbers:

✅ 75,000+ amputations occur annually in Mexico—BioGrip aims to reduce prosthetic abandonment.

✅ 90% of patients stop using conventional prosthetics—BioGrip focuses on comfort and function.

✅ Selected by Techstars Boston Accelerator 2024, one of the world's top startup accelerators.

Alan also emphasized the importance of applying to competitions that provide visibility to early-stage ventures, and shared his top lessons from pitching BioGrip on international stages.

More than just a tech company, BioGrip is changing lives—restoring independence to those who have lost it. Their user-centered approach and social commitment are setting a new standard for medical technology in Latin America.
