Why we invested
Two practising physicians and a speech researcher who had already run the workflow by hand for a year before writing any code. That patience is why the product survived contact with a real clinic.
Healthcare punishes founders who optimise for the demo. Northbound optimised for the fifteenth consecutive Tuesday of use, which is a far less impressive thing to show and a far more valuable thing to have built.
We moved from first meeting to term sheet in nine days and have since introduced the company to eleven of its first twenty health-system customers.
