About the role

We are a stealth mode Healthcare AI startup, and currently looking for a first hire in recruiting!

Who Are We

We are a small team obsessed with deep thinking, speed, craftsmanship, and a customer-first approach. Our mission is to build the best care experience in healthcare with a 30-year horizon. The founding team brings deep expertise across medicine, product, operations, and engineering. Collectively, we have built multiple 0-to-1 products and scaled companies from inception to over $1B in valuation, $60M+ ARR, and 100M+ MAU.

We help physicians achieve independence by making it easier to start, operate, and grow their practices. We believe the future of healthcare will not be driven by large, bureaucratic systems, but by empowered individual physicians. By lowering barriers to practice ownership, we enable doctors to deliver better care for everyone.

We are builders, physicians, and operators with decades of combined experience in healthcare and technology - including more than 30 years of hands-on experience running successful independent practices across urgent care centers, surgical centers, and beyond.

Our team has also started and helped shape products used by billions at companies such as Meta, Dropbox, Instagram, Coda, and Nomad.

We are profitable and funded by top-tier VCs in the healthcare vertical.

We are looking for a founding recruiter to work together to scale to hundreds of customers. You'll fit in if you want to take ownership of a product, process, or company from 1 to 100.
