Alumni Q&A
- What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
- The founders note that the US spends one in every five dollars on healthcare, more than any other country, with costs rising about 10% annually while outcomes fail to improve. TrueClaim aims to reverse this trend using newly available healthcare data and AI, targeting savings of 1.5% of GDP.
