Tyler Payne
Tyler Payne is the founder and CEO of Vellum Health, an Austin-based company that sends clinicians to draw a line, hang an infusion, or run a blood transfusion at a patient's bedside in a skilled nursing facility or living room instead of an emergency room. He rolled up a set of regional vascular-access businesses, wrapped them in a single brand and an AI platform that reads a facility's EMR to find patients who need care, and closed a Series A in mid-2025 led by FCA Venture Partners. Before Vellum he helped build CVS Health's nationwide clinical-trial infrastructure and worked at Elligo Health Research and ePatientFinder. He holds a molecular biology degree from Colorado and an MBA from UT Austin's McCombs School.
Ryan Johnson
Ryan Johnson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Float Health, a San Francisco-based healthtech company he founded in 2021 that connects specialty pharmacies and patients with vetted nurses for on-demand home infusion therapy. A former ER nurse with over 20 years of bedside and leadership experience across pre-hospital, rescue, and hospital settings, Ryan built Float after watching his own father depend on specialty infusions - care he could administer at home himself. Float graduated from Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch and has raised $15 million in total funding, including a $10 million Series A led by Canvas Ventures in March 2024. The platform has completed over 86,000 home medication visits for clients including Optum, CVS, and Option Care Health.
