WellTheory is a virtual autoimmune care platform founded in 2020 by Ellen Rudolph, Claire Rudolph, and Wallace Torres — all personally affected by autoimmune disease. The company pairs licensed registered dietitians and board-certified health coaches with advanced diagnostic testing to help the 50+ million Americans living with autoimmune conditions reduce symptoms and reclaim their lives. Members follow a 12-month personalized program covering nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement. Clinical outcomes show 92% of members reduce symptoms within four weeks, 85% cut ER visits within 16 months, and average annual healthcare savings of $5,181 per patient. Backed by $33.4M in total funding led by General Catalyst, WellTheory serves both individual members ($175/month) and self-insured employers and health plans like Sentara Health Plans.
Consensus is an AI-powered academic search engine that lets anyone ask a research question in plain language and get answers drawn directly from peer-reviewed science. Instead of returning a list of blue links, it reads across more than 200 million papers, summarizes findings, and shows - via its signature Consensus Meter - how much the published literature agrees. Founded in 2021 by Eric Olson and Christian Salem, the company is building what it calls an AI operating system for researchers, used by millions of students, scientists, clinicians and curious people.
