Athena Doshi
Athena Doshi is the founder and CEO of Exactrx, a Nashville-based healthtech company building AI-native infrastructure that helps ambulatory surgery centers stop costly day-of cancellations and recover lost revenue. A two-time digital health founder who once turned down a medical school acceptance, she pairs a physiology and neuroscience background from UC San Diego with hands-on product work at Omada Health and Heartbeat Health. Her platform pairs autonomous, embedded checklists with a payer-rules engine running more than 80,000 rules, and she was named to Inc.'s 2025 Female Founders 500 list.
Samuel Ethiopia
Samuel Ethiopia is the CEO and co-founder of DocSpera, a Silicon Valley surgical coordination platform used by thousands of surgeons and 300-plus health systems to synchronize the messy stretch between a surgical decision and a patient's recovery. A chemical engineer turned strategy consultant turned operator, he carried a Kellogg MMM dual degree and stints at Dow, Eli Lilly, PwC's Strategy&, and Yahoo into the operating room's back office, where he now bets that real-time, AI-driven data can make surgery run on time. He also co-founded The Par Fund to back underrepresented entrepreneurs.
