Soheil Saadat is the founder and CEO of GenieMD, a global virtual care platform that bundles telehealth, remote patient monitoring, remote therapeutic monitoring and chronic care management into one modular, AI-assisted system. A Stanford-trained electrical engineer with a Ph.D., he is a four-time founder whose previous companies were acquired by Hewlett-Packard, Agilent Technologies and Microsoft before he turned his attention from enterprise software to healthcare. His pitch is blunt: most virtual care wastes everyone's time, and a smarter system can let a doctor resolve a visit in under two minutes. GenieMD won Frost & Sullivan's 2024 Company of the Year award for virtual chronic disease management.
Quartzy is the lab management platform used by research scientists to track inventory, manage orders, and buy supplies from a marketplace of more than 1,000 suppliers - all in one place. Founded in 2011 by two Columbia PhD students who got tired of the paperwork eating their bench time.
