ActiveFast, Transparent Patient Experiences
This company has previously operated under “Elegant”. A rename frequently marks a pivot in positioning or product — useful raw material for variant ideas.
About
Tennr is solving the black hole problem in healthcare by leveraging models to digitize the flow of paperwork between healthcare providers. -- Today, when you go to your doctor and need to be referred to a specialist (e.g., for sleep apnea), your doctor sends a fax (yes, in 2024, 90% of provider-provider communication is a 1980s fax). These are often converted into 20+ page PDFs, with handwritten (doctor’s handwriting!) notes, in thousands of different formats. The problem is so complex that a person has to read it, type it up, and manually enter your information. Tennr built RaeLM™ (7B—trained on 3M+ documents) to read these docs, talk to your doc to ensure nothing is missed, and text you to help schedule your appointment so you can get better, faster.
Founders · 3
Former All-American rower, Computer science major and TA before going to work as a Software engineer at Strava. Left Strava to start a company with my former teammate Diego and former roommate Tyler. Outside of work, (pre-startup) I did standup whenever I had time
Grew up going to a school with no grades, then to Stanford, where I studied CS and was on the rowing team. Love learning, good design, and decomposing hard problems (whether they're my own or listening to other people's). Hate to lose.
Tyler is the co-founder and CTO at Tennr. He met his co-founders, Trey and Diego, while studying at Stanford, and spent a year working in technical consulting before leaving to work with them. A dedicated midwesterner, he lives in Wisconsin with a lot of dogs!
