Qualified Health is a Palo Alto-based public benefit company building the enterprise AI operating layer for hospitals and health systems. Its platform unifies clinical, operational, and financial workflows under a single governed layer - integrating with core health-system data once, offering pre-validated AI solutions plus builder tools, and adding real-time governance, monitoring, and outcomes tracking. Founded in 2024 by physician-technologist Justin Norden and a team of former health-system executives and AI leaders, it helps systems move past pilots toward scaled, safe, measurable AI. The company has raised $155M to date, including a $125M Series B in March 2026, and serves more than 500,000 users across systems representing roughly 7% of U.S. hospital revenue.
Jason Risch is a Partner at Greylock Partners, one of Silicon Valley's most storied venture firms, where he bets early on founders reshaping cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. A Stanford math-and-statistics graduate who grew up tracking baseball statistics in Marin County, Risch cut his professional teeth at McKinsey, Opendoor, and Andrew Ng's AI Fund before joining Greylock in 2019. He approaches every investment like an applied statistician - 'shifting the distribution to increase a founder's odds of success' - and has backed breakout companies including Wiz, Cribl, LlamaIndex, Kodem, and Blockaid.
Vicki Boykis is a founding ML engineer and one of the most respected voices in applied machine learning. Known for making complex systems legible through rigorous writing and dry wit, she runs the Normcore Tech newsletter, authored a widely-cited deep dive on embeddings, built Viberary (a semantic book recommendation engine), and created Normconf - an unconventional data conference celebrating the unglamorous realities of ML work. She brings an economist's skepticism and a software engineer's discipline to a field that often confuses hype for progress.
