What Freshpaint does
Our customers use Freshpaint to make their websites and entire marketing stack HIPAA compliant. It's impossible to use modern analytics and marketing tools without sharing sensitive HIPAA-regulated data. Our platform does the hard thing of moving data from A to B. And then we do the really hard thing of controlling the flow of sensitive HIPAA-regulated data to various 3rd-party marketing tools. We're building the data infrastructure that safeguards patient privacy while also enabling marketing teams promote access to healthcare.

Customer data collection, safeguarding, & activation for healthcare
We build a platform that handles customer data from websites securely and routes it to marketing tools in a HIPAA-compliant way. Freshpaint lets healthcare companies track and activate customer data without exposing sensitive patient info to the dozens of third-party tools they rely on. We do the heavy lifting of data flow control and complexity so marketing teams can run modern campaigns without breaking privacy rules.
We live in San Francisco, and after YC we'd remain based here with a mix of remote work.
San Francisco has the developer talent and healthcare startup ecosystem we need. Being here keeps us close to early customers and partners handling HIPAA compliance.
