Syam Palakurthy
Syam Palakurthy is the co-founder and CEO of SamaCare, a San Francisco healthcare-technology company that rips paper and fax out of the specialty-drug prior authorization process. After a Dartmouth engineering-and-economics degree and a stint at Bain (where he once asked to be staffed on anything but healthcare), he built a cloud platform that now connects 15,000+ providers across retina, oncology, neurology, and rheumatology, and has raised roughly $35 million to make getting a patient on therapy 'as simple as a credit card swipe.'
