CEO & Co-founder at Solace

Incredibly excited to announce that Solace has raised a $14M Series A, led by Inspired Capital with participation from our existing investors Craft Ventures and Torch Capital. We connect people to healthcare advocates. Solace is deeply personal to me. My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She was a doctor, someone who advocated for others. But when she was sick, she had a really challenging experience with the healthcare system and ultimately passed away. I wanted to start a company to help people who were going through challenges with their health and I discovered healthcare advocates, people who deeply understand the healthcare system and solve problems that people face at a super high rate. The problem is that it was really hard to find an advocate, and the experience working with them was challenging. So we created a way for people to connect with advocates in a seamless way, and got it covered by Medicare, so patients wouldn't have to worry about it. We've now helped thousands of patients and are growing incredibly quickly, and we're just getting started. You can read our WSJ funding announcement below.

As a nurse, a care coordinator and the daughter of two disabled parents this is inspiring and a glimmer of hope that healthcare can be what it's meant to be.
