In this episode, Tennr cofounder and CEO Trey Holterman sits down with a16z’s David Haber and Jay Rughani to unpack one of healthcare’s most overlooked pain points: patient referral logistics. When a patient is referred to a specialist and told that the specialist will follow up with them, what happens next? A convoluted system sometimes involving dozens of staff and multiple portals, all of which may or may not result in the specialist actually following up.
Trey discusses with David and Jay how Tennr leverages AI to automate the complex, unstructured workflows that delay patient care and burden frontline staff. Tennr’s goal is to meaningfully increase patient conversions—ensuring more people get the treatment they need, faster.
David Haber is a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where he focuses on technology investments in B2B software and financial services.
