Derek Haas
Derek Haas is the founder and CEO of Avant-garde Health, a Boston healthtech company that helps hospitals and surgeons see the true cost and quality of the care they deliver. He calls himself the black sheep of a family full of doctors. Instead of practicing medicine, he turned Harvard Business School research with professors Michael Porter and Bob Kaplan into a company that put a price tag and an outcome score on every surgical episode. He has co-authored nine Harvard Business Review articles and built a software platform, CareMeasurement, that now spans surgical and procedure-based care.
Sach Jain
Sach Jain is the Founder & CEO of Carrum Health, a San Francisco-based value-based care platform that connects self-insured employers with top-tier hospitals and surgical centers through bundled payment arrangements. Founded in 2014 after Jain's frustration with America's fee-for-service healthcare system, Carrum Health has raised $96M in total funding and now covers 90% of the US population through a network that includes Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford. With a background spanning IIT Delhi, University of Chicago Booth, investment banking at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and healthcare consulting at Booz & Company, Jain built Carrum to solve a systemic problem: employers spending $20,000+ per employee annually on health benefits with up to a 10x pricing variation for identical procedures.
