Roo began with a simple staffing question: who can cover Tuesday? Its more interesting answer is that a few shifts can tell a hospital and a veterinarian more than a stack of interviews.
The $97 Dental Staffing Bet: Let the Office and Hygienist Cut Out the Middleman
Cloud Dentistry turned the dental temp agency into a searchable marketplace. The clever part is not the app - it is who gets control, who pays, and which old fees disappear.
The $299 Seoul Checkup: How Himedi Turned Healthcare Friction Into a Concierge Business

Examedi
Examedi is a Latin American digital health company that sends nurses and lab technicians to patients' homes to draw blood, run medical tests, give vaccines and connect people to doctors - booked in minutes through an app or website. Founded in Chile in 2021 and shaped in Y Combinator's Summer 2021 batch, it built logistics software to route clinicians the way a delivery app routes drivers, then expanded from COVID-era PCR tests into a broader home-health marketplace spanning lab work, telemedicine, nutrition, kinesiology and mental health across Chile and Mexico.
