As a result, patient care is delayed, clinicians burn out, margins crater, and hundreds of billions of dollars that should be funding care end up funding the friction itself.
We're backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Lightspeed, Hanabi, and a roster of operators and clinicians who have built and run the largest payers, providers, and healthcare technology platforms in the country.

You'll close the loop from customer pain to shipped software: observe the workflow, understand the clinical and operational context, identify what needs to change, build it, deploy it, and make sure it works.
