Klarity Health
Klarity Health is a U.S. telehealth marketplace that connects patients with thousands of independent, licensed and board-certified providers for affordable online care across mental health, ADHD, weight loss, primary care and more than 200 conditions. Founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 mental health surge, the company pairs a consumer-facing appointment platform with software, marketing and back-office tools that let solo practitioners run profitable virtual practices - an operating model it extended in 2025 with the launch of Kiwi Health, a growth and engagement SaaS built for private providers.
Neel Shah
Neel Shah is a New York-based healthcare-fintech operator and the chief executive of Zaya Care, a startup that helps independently-owned practices accept insurance profitably. Before Zaya, he ran commercial and product finance at Cedar, the healthcare billing and payments company. His work sits at the unglamorous seam of American medicine - the paperwork, reimbursement and revenue plumbing that decides whether a solo dietitian, physical therapist or acupuncturist can afford to take insurance at all. Zaya, which began by importing a European-style model of maternal care and negotiating coverage with major payers, now pitches itself as the financial leverage of a large medical group for providers who want to stay independent.
