Jake Horowitz is the co-founder and CEO of Offcall, a San Francisco company building financial and career tools by and for physicians, aiming to cut burnout by making doctor pay transparent. He learned to build audiences the hard way as the co-founder and editor-at-large of Mic, the millennial news outlet that grew from a basement project into a 30-million-reader brand and interviewed figures from Barack Obama to Bill Gates before its 2018 sale. A Stanford history graduate and 2014 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, he married an emergency room nurse and turned her world into his next company.
Chris Altchek is the founder and CEO of Cadence, a New York health-tech company that runs remote patient monitoring and virtual care for chronic conditions on behalf of large U.S. health systems. He built the company after selling his first venture, the millennial media brand Mic, which he co-founded at 23 with high-school friend Jake Horowitz. A Harvard social studies graduate and former Goldman Sachs analyst who also worked in the Bloomberg administration and the White House, Altchek pivoted from media to medicine through an entrepreneur-in-residence stint at Thrive Capital. Cadence reached a reported $1 billion valuation in 2021 after a $100 million Series B led by Coatue, and now monitors tens of thousands of patients across more than 20 states.
