Ted LeNeave Turned the Org Chart Upside Down - Then Built Accura Around It

Karan Aneja
Karan Aneja is the co-founder and CEO of Reframe Financial, a Los Angeles insurtech building digital-first hybrid insurance products that combine indexed universal life with long-term care benefits.

Lily Vittayarukskul
Lily Vittayarukskul is the co-founder and CEO of Waterlily, a San Francisco AI company that predicts when a person will need long-term care, for how long, and what it will cost - then helps families figure out how to pay for it. A child prodigy who started college at 14 and interned at NASA by 16, she pivoted from aerospace engineering to healthcare after her aunt's terminal cancer diagnosis exposed how unprepared most families are for the cost of caregiving. Waterlily runs more than 500 million data points through proprietary AI models, has raised roughly $10 million from investors including Genworth, Nationwide and Edward Jones Ventures, and landed Lily on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
Arash Jafari
Arash Jafari is the CEO and co-founder of Clearpol, a San Francisco healthtech company that builds AI to help post-acute and long-term care providers manage regulatory compliance and clinical risk. A former NASA JPL and Langley engineer, he traded interplanetary robotics simulations and severe-weather prediction for one of healthcare's least glamorous frontiers: the survey deficiency. Clearpol's AI now acts as a 'co-pilot' for skilled nursing facilities, drafting Plans of Correction, monitoring clinical data, and flagging regulatory risk before it escalates - trusted by 900+ facilities, with 3,000+ Plans of Correction written.
