> Matthew Loper is the co-founder and CEO of Wellth, a Los Angeles digital-health company that pays people small cash rewards for sticking to their care plans.

Under his leadership Wellth has raised more than $73 million, including an oversubscribed $36 million Series C in 2025, and reports steep drops in hospital and emergency-room use among the high-need Medicare and Medicaid populations it serves.
