Resp & Qualifications

We believe Digital Health Solutions will become dominant in all areas of healthcare within 5 years. This will transform patient experiences and expectations, the insurance-employer-patient relationship, and how care is priced, delivered, and measured.

In May 2022, we received seed funding for a new venture. The Stealth Startup is a first-of-its-kind digital marketplace bringing digital health solutions (sellers) together with insurance companies, TPA’s, ASO’s, self-insured employers (buyers) to discover, procure, transact, and share data. Think of us as eBay meets a digital formulary, meets a transparent data platform. Our marketplace sells digital health solutions such as Digital Clinics Solutions, Digital Care Navigation Tools, and Digital Therapeutics delivering or augmenting medical care.

As a pre-launch venture, we are currently building our platform after 10 weeks of rapid prototyping and learning with real end users after which we created a minimum loveable product which led to our successful seed funding round.

Does this sound unusual? Based on market feedback to date, we know we’re on track to address several pain points in the market. Stealth Startup solves key problems focused on the discovery, procurement, contracting, payment, and measurement of digital health solutions. Today, digital health solutions (sellers) struggle to gain access, partnership and engagement from insurance companies and employers. Insurance companies and employers (buyers) struggle to find and learn about new digital health solutions, they struggle with onerous procurement and contracting. And buyers must transact with each partner on a one-off basis. Finally, there is no transparent value add data sharing service to build trust between buyers and sellers in this new developing care paradigm.

Do you share our passion for building and growing the first platform to address how digital health solutions come to market and change healthcare? Do you like being part of a team that brings new ideas to market in record time? Then we need you. We offer competitive compensation and benefits. And we’re in your corner, just like we are for our patients. Help us define the future of care delivery.
