Company
Pillar
A white-label care enablement platform
We built a SOC 2-certified, HIPAA-compliant platform combined with a network of over 1,200 health coaches. Our product lets companies guide patients through outreach, activation, digital care pathways, and flexible microsites that include content, services, vendors, and forms. It's designed for longitudinal engagement in healthcare, taking users from initial contact through chronic condition management and health education.
We live in New York City and work remotely. After YC, the company will remain based in New York City with remote team members.
New York has direct access to a broad healthcare ecosystem and potential partners. Our founding team is already based here and remote work allows us to attract talent outside the city.
