Derek Chung is a software engineer at Abridge, the AI-powered clinical documentation company backed by Andreessen Horowitz with over $907M in total funding. A Stanford-trained computer scientist and accomplished concert pianist, he co-founded 88Keys to Cure, a nonprofit merging classical music with charitable causes, and has performed at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall, Chicago Symphony Orchestra Hall, and Ravinia. His career sits at a rare intersection: elite competitive piano, rigorous CS training, and building technology that reduces clinician burnout at scale.
Shiv Rao is the CEO and co-founder of Abridge, the AI platform transforming clinical conversations into structured medical documentation. A practicing cardiologist at UPMC and history-major-turned-physician, Rao founded Abridge in 2018 out of personal frustration with nightly dictation sessions. The company, now valued at $5.3 billion after raising $300M in Series E in 2025, deploys across 150+ U.S. health systems including Mayo Clinic, Duke Health, and Johns Hopkins, supports 28 languages and 55 medical specialties, and is used by over 50,000 clinicians. Rao is equal parts cardiologist, technologist, and artist — a former DJ, skateboarder, and avant-garde music producer whose unconventional path runs straight through the operating room.
