In their words
We take evidence and clinical best practices and we create software-based decision algorithms and tools that drive high-quality decision-making. What we do is we help doctors and nurses and pharmacists to do their job in an evidence-based way.
For the tech entrepreneur, honestly, this can be the loneliest job in the world. For the most part, what you're building hasn't been done before, and that sits as a weight on your shoulders.
The heavy weight of payroll only gets worse with time. When it's 20 or 50 thousand dollars and you can put it on your credit card, okay, I can get past this. When it's beyond what you can handle, that sits as a serious weight on your shoulders. Those are families that are trusting you.
