Shiva Suri is the founder and CEO of New Lantern, a San Francisco startup building an AI-native radiology platform that aims to automate roughly 90% of imaging workflows - dictation, report drafting, measurements, and worklist navigation. A University of Pennsylvania computer engineer and former Confluent software engineer, he started the company in 2021 after watching his radiologist mother burn most of her day on clerical busywork instead of reading scans. In November 2024 New Lantern raised a $19M Series A led by Benchmark's Eric Vishria, part of $22.6M total raised.
Ken Kaufman is the CEO of Sirona Medical, a San Francisco-based cloud-native radiology platform backed by $118M in funding. A radiology IT veteran with decades of experience at IDX Systems, McKesson, and Allscripts, he co-founded PureWellness — a population health platform that grew to 15 million users and was acquired by Cerner in 2013. Now at Sirona, he is driving the company's mission to rearchitect radiology software with AI at its core, helping radiologists read faster, practice everywhere, and generate reports with unprecedented efficiency.
