Thatch builds a modern health benefits platform that transforms how employers offer healthcare. The company uses Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) to let businesses set a budget while empowering employees to choose their own health insurance plans from top carriers. This approach replaces one-size-fits-all group plans with personalized benefits that fit each employee's unique needs and circumstances. The platform integrates a curated marketplace of over 100 health and wellness services, all accessible through the same tax-free allowance. Employees who spend less on insurance receive a Thatch Visa debit card for qualified medical expenses. The system features Ask Thatch, an AI-powered service available 24/7 to help with compliance questions, expense verification, and account support. Thatch works seamlessly with any payroll provider and requires just five minutes to set up, eliminating the administrative burden of traditional benefits administration.

At Media4Care, we believe in the power of technology to bring joy and dignity to seniors and those who care for them. Our journey began in 2013 when founder Marc Aurel Engels visited his grandfather in a Stuttgart care facility and noticed how engaged he became with family photos on a tablet, despite his dementia. That moment sparked a mission: to create a tablet-based assistance system that would help people with dementia reconnect with memories, stay mentally active, and maintain social connections. Today, we serve over 250,000 seniors, caregivers, and family members across Germany, making us one of the country's leading care technology startups. Our team operates with the heart of a social enterprise and the focus of a tech company. We've built a comprehensive platform featuring films, songs, games, and cognitive exercises specifically designed for people with dementia and other cognitive impairments. What drives us isn't just building software - it's the real impact we see every day: caregivers who have more time for meaningful interactions, families who stay connected across distances, and seniors who experience genuine moments of engagement. With offices in Berlin and Munich, we combine personal empathy with digital innovation, constantly iterating based on feedback from the care professionals and families who use our products daily.

At mama health, we believe that the future of healthcare starts with truly understanding patients - not just what clinical trials capture, but what living with a chronic condition actually looks like day to day. Our team combines medical expertise with cutting-edge technology to build a platform that serves patients first, while generating the real-world insights that healthcare needs. We're creating a world where patients feel heard, understood, and supported at every step of their journey, where data privacy is structural rather than optional, and where the collective wisdom of patient experiences shapes better care for everyone. Our Berlin-based team of doctors, engineers, and data scientists is driven by a shared mission: to transform how chronic conditions are understood and managed. We've built an AI-powered platform that helps patients track symptoms, understand their health journey, and prepare for doctor visits - while simultaneously providing life sciences teams with unprecedented access to structured, real-world patient insights. Every feature we build and every decision we make is measured against one question: does this serve patients? Because at mama health, patients aren't a data source - they're the reason we exist.

In 2017, Maya R. Said, Sc.D., founded Outcomes4Me after a personal health scare while leading global access and policy for oncology at Novartis revealed a critical gap in cancer care. She realized that despite tremendous innovation in drug discovery, patients struggled to understand their treatments and access the care they needed. Even with premium insurance and a network of medical professionals, navigating the healthcare system proved confusing and overwhelming. This experience inspired her to create a platform that would democratize healthcare by putting patients at the center of their care journey. Outcomes4Me is now the first and only direct-to-patient, AI-driven platform that integrates with the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®). The platform uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to translate complex clinical guidelines, written by and for oncologists at the world's leading cancer centers, into easy-to-understand, personalized guidance for cancer patients. Through a free mobile app and web platform, Outcomes4Me provides patients with personalized treatment options, genetic and genomic testing opportunities, symptom tracking, clinical trial matching, understandable health records, and access to a supportive peer community - empowering them to take control of their cancer care with evidence-based, oncologist-approved information.
