Zócalo Health

About

Zócalo Health is a Latino-founded virtual primary care provider delivering culturally-competent healthcare services to the Latino community. Founded in 2021 by Erik Cardenas and Mariza Hardin, the company addresses the significant healthcare disparities faced by over 62 million Latinos in the United States. With 1 in 3 Latinos uninsured and 50% more likely to experience delays accessing medical care compared to non-Hispanic whites, Zócalo Health was built to eliminate barriers to accessing healthcare services through a model that is by Latinos, for Latinos.

The company combines modern technology with cultural traditions to provide comprehensive care including virtual primary and urgent care, behavioral health services, and social support through community health workers known as promotoras de salud. Backed by $5 million in seed funding from healthcare and social impact investors, Zócalo Health now serves patients across California, Texas, Maryland, and Washington. Their care model integrates bilingual providers, mobile health apps for iOS and Android, and community-based engagement to deliver whole-person care that meets patients where they are - virtually, in their homes, and within their neighborhoods.

Zocdoc

We’re building the leading healthcare marketplace that makes it easy to find and book in-person or virtual care in all 50 states, across more than 200 specialties and over 12,000 insurance plans. Healthcare should work for patients, but too often it doesn’t - people call outdated insurance directories, wait on hold, wait weeks for appointments, and then face surprise bills. We started Zocdoc in 2007 with a simple question: why doesn’t healthcare work like the rest of our world? Eighteen years later, we’re still answering that question by giving patients the power to see and choose their care. Our mission is to give power to the patient. By connecting millions of people each month with healthcare providers who are right for them, we’re trying to make healthcare work like every other consumer sector - where businesses compete for customers, not the other way around. We’re the leader in our space, but we’re still just getting started. If you like solving important, complex problems alongside deeply thoughtful, driven, and collaborative teammates, this is the place for you.

XO Health

In 2021, XO Health emerged from a simple but powerful observation: the traditional healthcare system was broken, leaving employers, providers, and members frustrated with opaque costs, fragmented experiences, and misaligned incentives. The founders recognized that self-insured employers needed a modern approach - one that combined trust, transparency, and common sense with cutting-edge technology and data-driven insights. So they built XO Health, a groundbreaking value-based care and benefits platform designed specifically for the self-insured market. Today, XO Health is redefining what a health plan can be. By leveraging real-time data, advanced analytics, and a unified technology platform, they deliver integrated medical and pharmacy solutions that put value-based care at the forefront.

Zus Health

Zus is a next-generation shared health data platform designed to solve one of healthcare's most persistent problems: fragmented patient information. Every day, clinicians struggle to piece together a complete picture of their patients' health across multiple systems, hospitals, and specialists - leading to redundant tests, medical errors, and delayed care. Zus exists to fix this by building a unified data layer that aggregates patient clinical history from health information exchanges and other data networks, then translates that information into user-friendly insights at the point of care. The company's flagship product, the Zus Aggregated Profile (ZAP), provides a single, shareable view of a patient that makes it quick and easy for care teams to understand all of a patient's recent and ongoing healthcare interactions. Founded in 2020 by Jonathan Bush, co-founder and former CEO of athenahealth, Zus partners with healthcare innovators to help them build up, not around, the healthcare data problem. The platform delivers data via API, embedded components, and direct EHR integrations, enabling healthcare organizations to prevent hospital stays, boost team efficiency, and deliver better-informed, holistic care without asking patients to fill out dreaded clipboards or endure manual record chasing.

Zscaler

In 2007, our founders Jay Chaudhry and K. Kailash had a revolutionary insight: as enterprises moved to the cloud, the traditional castle-and-moat security model was broken. Legacy network security appliances couldn't protect users accessing applications from anywhere, on any device. So they founded Zscaler with a radical vision - the internet would become the new corporate network, and they would build the world's largest cloud security platform to protect it. They created the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, a platform that secures users, devices, applications, and data regardless of location, eliminating the need for traditional VPNs and firewalls. Today, with more than 160 data centers worldwide and trusted by 40% of the Fortune 500, Zscaler processes billions of transactions daily, using AI and machine learning to stop threats that perimeter-based security never could. Built on a cloud-native zero trust architecture from day one, Zscaler enables secure digital transformation by making security invisible to users while impenetrable to attackers. Our platform combines advanced AI with massive scale to provide cybersecurity, data protection, and identity management in a unified solution. We've grown from a bold idea to a public company valued at over $30 billion, serving the world's largest banks, governments, and critical infrastructure providers. Our culture of innovation attracts top talent who share our mission to make the cloud a safer place for everyone, proving that when you eliminate complexity from security, you unlock productivity and enable business agility at unprecedented scale.

Judi Health

In 2017, AJ Loiacono and Ryan Kelly founded Capital Rx with a singular mission: to transform the broken prescription drug pricing system that was costing patients and plans billions. They recognized early on that the traditional pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) model was riddled with hidden fees, opaque pricing, and misaligned incentives that prioritized profits over patient care. Rather than simply building another layer of technology on top of existing systems, they made the bold decision to become a full-service PBM themselves, developing their own platform from the ground up that would enable unprecedented transparency and efficiency. What began as a focused effort to revolutionize pharmacy benefits quickly evolved into something much larger. As they built their technology platform, they realized that to truly transform healthcare, they needed to address the entire health benefits ecosystem - not just pharmacy. They developed Judi®, an open, secure, and scalable enterprise health platform that could unify claims processing across pharmacy, medical, dental, and vision benefits. This breakthrough platform enabled the launch of Judi Health™, the industry's first Unified Claims Processing™ platform, which eliminates administrative waste and redundancies by bringing all benefits together in one system. In 2025, Capital Rx rebranded to Judi Health to reflect this expansion beyond pharmacy, marking the company's evolution into a full-stack health infrastructure platform that's building the digital foundation needed to make healthcare accessible, affordable, and transparent for all.

Humata Health, Inc

As a "recovering radiologist" from Mayo Clinic and Harvard, Dr. Jeremy Friese experienced the struggles of prior authorization firsthand. After learning that payers also despised the cumbersome, costly process, he set out on a mission to bring providers and payers together to automate the problem so patients can get the care they deserve while reducing the costs and waste that plague our healthcare system. Six years ago, the team began building an artificial intelligence solution to solve prior authorization for all medical specialties. After a couple acquisitions and tens of millions of dollars invested in the technology, Dr. Friese returned with Humata Health and an amazing team. While they have helped millions of patients, the time is now to deliver truly "frictionless prior authorization" at scale so every patient gets the care they deserve and the process becomes touchless. As a physician-led company, Humata is solely focused on solving the complexities of prior authorization by seamlessly connecting payers and providers, leveraging deep clinical expertise and advanced AI to streamline approvals, reduce administrative burden, and ensure patients receive timely care.
