Redesign Health Turned Starting a Healthcare Company Into a Repeatable Process
The New York studio has launched more than 60 healthcare companies since 2018 by treating the messy work of starting one - ideas, diligence, hiring, capital - as a system you can run again and again.
Briya
Briya is a healthcare data company that connects hospitals, health systems, and researchers to life sciences organizations through a secure, privacy-preserving data exchange network. Its blockchain-secured infrastructure standardizes electronic health records and keeps data at its source, while its flagship product, Briya AIRE, is a clinical-grade conversational AI research platform that lets scientists query and analyze real-world medical data in plain language. Founded in 2020 by David Lazerson and Guy Tish, Briya spans a global network of more than 120 million patient records and aims to accelerate medical and epidemiological research without the friction of traditional data integration.
Flume Health
Flume Health is a New York-based healthcare technology company building operational infrastructure that connects the fragmented data ecosystem behind health plans. Founded in 2017 by Cedric Kovacs-Johnson and Vineeth Bhuvanagiri, Flume gives payers, third-party administrators, and vendors a way to move, translate, and make sense of healthcare data. It started as a plan administrator, pivoted to the Relay integration platform, and has since evolved into an AI-native data platform - mapping enterprise data estates into a living knowledge graph and running domain-specific AI agents so non-technical teams can query and act on healthcare data in plain language.
Zach Taft
Zach Taft is the CEO of IgniteData, a healthcare technology company whose Archer platform automates the transfer of clinical trial data straight from hospital electronic health records into pharma data-capture systems. Brought in by the founders in 2024, he has scaled the company from a handful of trial sites to a network spanning four continents and eight of the top ten U.S. cancer centers. Before IgniteData he helped drive the $1.1B acquisition of M*Modal by 3M, served as a 3M product leader, and ran digital innovation and ventures at Memorial Sloan Kettering, where he co-founded the Clinical Research Innovation Consortium. His obsession: cutting the weeks of manual data re-typing out of clinical trials so treatments reach patients faster.

Through its Marketplace and a framework it brands IPGE (Identity, Privacy, Governance, Exchange), it lets pharmaceutical companies, payers, and government agencies discover, license, link, and synchronize de-identified data on more than 340 million U.S. individuals to build longitudinal patient journeys and generate real-world evidence - all in a HIPAA-compliant manner.
