Apply to this jobAbout Us
GenMD is unlocking healthcare data at scale. Today, roughly 97% of healthcare data goes unused because of patient privacy concerns. We’ve found a way to unlock that data—safely and ethically—for AI labs, pharma companies, and researchers. This isn’t a chatbot, or an AI agent replacing clinicians or automating paperwork. It’s core infrastructure that enables better drugs, faster clinical trials, and more powerful medical research—the kind of foundation that makes real breakthroughs, including curing diseases, possible.
The company was built out of years inside Stanford Medicine, working closely with world-class researchers and clinicians. We have access to tens of millions of patients, longitudinal health records, and clinical notes. GenMD is just coming out of stealth, already revenue-generating, well-funded, and backed by premier investors with years of runway. We’re intentionally small, move fast, and are focused on building something fundamental.
