Cameron Howieson is the co-founder and CEO of Opencare, a Toronto-based digital health company that connects patients with a curated network of top-rated dentists across North America. A computer engineer by training, he co-founded the stock-research startup Vuru (acquired by Wave Accounting in 2012) before helping build Opencare, where he moved from CTO to COO to CEO. His work centers on making preventive dental care transparent, convenient and comfortable for patients.
Opencare is a Toronto-based dental marketplace that helps patients find, compare and book vetted dentists across North America while giving dental practices a pay-for-performance patient-acquisition channel. Patients use a matching quiz, verified reviews and instant online booking to choose a provider; practices pay only when a new patient actually shows up and is treated. Founded in 2012, the company has cared for more than 100,000 patients and raised roughly $22.6M, led by 8VC.
