Our Story
The Health High was born out of a genuine desire to see our friends and former coworkers break into the healthcare tech industry and thrive in their long digital health careers.
It started off with a few family friends in the healthcare space asking quick advice about how to break into the healthcare technology industry… to a few dozen emails from ex-coworkers, all former clinicians, reaching out because they were just laid off and did not want to go back to their previous traditional healthcare job.
Health Tech is one of the fastest growing sectors, with new startups emerging every day, rising from 21% in 2018 to 32% in 2024 (Carta, 2024). The Health High features only the most promising companies and highlights the critical you need to decide if it’s the right fit for you like:
The ones that are tracking medications
The ones that are staying up all night with patients
The ones that are comforting patients and families in life-changing situations
Both of us launched our startup careers as early employees of Hired.com, a talent marketplace for technology knowledge workers, and worked at Trusted Health, a marketplace for travel nurses. With seasoned years in this specific industry and this specific problem, we felt empowered to be able to build The Health High simply wanting to help.
It’s no secret if you ask any of our friends and family that we have always admired clinicians.
We admire them not just because they’re intelligent, hardworking, and excellent team players, but also because of their altruism to care for others.
It’s time for us to unconditionally help those who unconditionally help us.
We hope you enjoy The Health High as much as we love building it!
