Compass (https://www.trycompassmedical.com) fast tracks cancer care by analyzing inquiries in real-time, optimizing cancer care experience, directing patients to the right care path, predicting bottlenecks, and eliminating mundane workarounds. Compass is founded by two MIT graduate students. One founder is a serial entrepreneur who has raised millions in venture funding and exited through acquisition (i.e. upwards of 9 figure exits), and who has spent over a decade in building machine learning, workflow automation, optimization companies. The other founder is a physician who has developed and launched health technologies across various clinical conditions and workflows, with a record of building clinical and R&D programs, advising organizations (including venture-backed digital health companies), and driving transformative innovation. We are funded by MIT Sandbox, a 2025 MIT Sloan Health Innovation Prize finalist, a MIT VMS startup, and we already have 10K+ patients on the waiting list and established preliminary partnerships with leading hospitals such as MD Anderson and MGH, as well as regional centers. If you are a high-energy, goal oriented individual, and want to shape Compass’s success, we want to meet you!
