Nick Perry is the co-founder and CEO of Candid Health, a San Francisco-based AI-powered revenue cycle management platform that is rebuilding how healthcare billing works from the ground up. A Stanford-trained biomedical informaticist and five-year Palantir veteran, Perry founded Candid in 2019 with co-founders Doug Proctor and Adam Reis to solve one of healthcare's most stubborn problems: the $280 billion annual cost of incorrect medical claims. Candid's platform focuses on submitting claims correctly the first time - rather than fixing them after denial - and has scaled to serve 200+ healthcare organizations with 95%+ touchless claim rates, nearly 250% revenue growth in 2024, and $99.5 million in total funding.
Zeit AI is a YC S24 enterprise analytics startup founded by two former Palantir engineers who believe business intelligence should require nothing more than plain English. Their product, ZeitMind, lets non-technical users query Excel files, CSVs, ERP systems, and databases using natural language - turning weeks of analyst work into seconds of typing. Backed by Y Combinator, Oxford Seed Fund, and ACE Ventures, Zeit AI is quietly rewriting how enterprises turn raw data into decisions.
