Shan Sinha

Co-Founder and CEO

Canopy Works

San Jose, CA

Mr. Sinha co-founded Canopy Works in 2019, aiming to protect frontline healthcare professionals from workplace violence through a connected safety platform that combines wearable duress technology with real-time situational awareness. The platform now helps protect over 300,000 healthcare workers across more than 60 major health systems and 1,200-plus facilities. He brings to this mission a technology entrepreneurship background, having previously founded DocVerse, acquired by Google and forming the basis of the Google Drive desktop client, and co-founded Highfive, a video conferencing platform acquired by Dialpad, in addition to building enterprise technology products at Microsoft. Under his leadership, Canopy has evolved beyond a niche safety tool into a comprehensive workforce safety solution that integrates proactive support alongside reactive alerting, with coverage extending both indoors and outdoors and into home healthcare environments. Mr. Sinha has been a vocal public advocate for making worker safety central to health systems’ operational priorities, addressing rising workplace assault rates in industry publications and consistently weaving empathy for healthcare workers into Canopy’s culture and product strategy. Beyond Canopy, he serves as a venture advisor at AI Fund working with early-stage founders on strategic growth and fundraising, and holds board roles at Fivetran and as a board observer at Bearing AI. He was recognized on the Slice of Healthcare “50 Under 50” list in 2025.
