The Most Interesting Healthcare Platform Companies You've Never Heard of
Julie Klapstein and the Stories of Availity and Multiplan
One Julie wasn't enough for our team, so we're thrilled to announce Julie Klapstein as our newest Advisory Partner at a16z health.
In this podcast, we discuss her work at some of The Most Interesting Healthcare Platform Companies You've Never Heard of, e.g. MultiPlan and Availity (particularly relevant given the occurrences at a certain large clearinghouse company this past week). We touch on:
The history of unbundling + rebundling in HCIT, and Life Before Epic
Working at the interface between payors and providers
Building software-only network effects businesses in healthcare
AI optimism (and how they said the internet wouldn't work either...)
