Eduardo Rodríguez Bunster

CEO and co-founder at Next Core Revolution.
Biomedical engineering, public procurement and applied AI. Chile.

I am a biomedical engineer, co-founder and CEO of Next Core Revolution (NCR), and a student of an MBA specialized in artificial intelligence. I build procurement software for institutions that have their own rules and cannot change them to fit a tool.

Alongside NCR I have worked on medical equipment purchasing and hospital projects in Chile's public health sector. That is where I learned how a large institution really buys: quotes, technical specifications, committees, documents and a lot of traceability.

My research was on virtual reality: designing environments that induce emotions and measuring the response in physiological signals.

What I do

Strategy and product

I lead the strategy and the product of NCR, from what the system should do to how an institution adopts it.

Finance and investors

I run the finances and the relationship with investors, with the backing of Fusen World.

Applied AI

I am studying an MBA with a specialization in AI. I use AI as a configuration tool, not as a chatbot, and keep the running system deterministic and auditable.

Background

I graduated in Biomedical Civil Engineering with the highest distinction (2018-2024) and hold a bachelor's degree in engineering sciences. I was vice president of the student center from 2019 to 2024. I am now studying an MBA with a specialization in artificial intelligence at EALDE Business School, in association with the Catholic University of Murcia.

My path has three parts: public-sector hospital projects and medical equipment, research on virtual reality and physiological signals, and a startup for institutional purchasing. In purchasing I learned that the hard part is not buying but proving you bought correctly. In research I learned to design something, measure its effect and report what did not work.
