Tatiana Fofanova
Tatiana Fofanova is the co-founder and CEO of Koda Health, a Houston-based B2B enterprise SaaS company that helps health systems and payers scale advance care planning. Trained as a molecular-medicine PhD at Baylor College of Medicine and a former HHMI scholar, she left bench and pediatric work after concluding that patients needed access and good information more than newer drugs. She built Koda out of the Texas Medical Center's Biodesign Fellowship in 2020 with co-founders Desh Mohan and Katelin Cherry, describing the product as 'TurboTax meets Duolingo' for the hardest conversations in medicine. The company now supports more than a million patients nationwide and raised an oversubscribed $7M Series A in October 2025.
