# Eli Ben-Joseph

> Eli Ben-Joseph is the co-founder and CEO of Regard, a clinical intelligence company built around a problem he encountered while shadowing doctors: electronic records contain far more information than clinicians have time to review. An MIT graduate with degrees in biology and bioengineering and a Stanford master's in management and computer science, he turned that observation into software now used across more than 150 hospitals. Regard raised a $61 million Series B in 2024 and, by 2025, clinicians had accepted more than 10 million diagnoses surfaced by its platform.
