Connecting stakeholders across healthcare ecosystem

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a global platform that indexes every healthcare professional and organization to connect stakeholders across healthcare. Our product lets customers find, analyze, and manage healthcare talent and institutions worldwide. It's a single source of truth for health ecosystems typically fragmented and hard to navigate.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY and the company is based here as well. After YC, we would continue to be based in New York.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York puts us close to the largest healthcare markets, major hospitals, and healthcare organizations. It also gives us access to strong technical talent familiar with healthcare IT.
