About

Pair Team is building a new kind of healthcare system across Medicaid, Medicare, and public assistance programs: one that recognizes that access to housing, nutritious food, and reliable transportation are just as critical to health as having the right medications or seeing a doctor. We run one of the largest medical groups for complex, low income patients and our next chapter is building a vertically integrated AI care manager to support any clinical, behavioral, or social need for everyone.

Founders

  • Neil BatlivalaFounder

    I am a technical entrepreneur, YC alumni, and co-founder of Pair Team (YC S19). I've spent the majority of my career in healthcare and had the honor of working with some exceptional people while building remote medical teams at Sling, opening primary care practices at Forward, designing medical devices at Spect, training machine learning models at Noxon, and researching pneumonia at UCSF. 50% thrill seeker, 40% dad jokes, 15% math.

  • Cassie ChoiFounder

    After starting in emergency medicine in Boston, I moved to NYC to work in cardiac critical care at NewYork Presbyterian Columbia University Medical Center. I then moved to San Francisco and worked at Kaiser Permanente and UCSF. After leaving bedside medicine, I was the first RN at Forward building out clinical protocols, workflows and the flagship clinic. After launching Forward, I was director of operations at Circle Medical and launched their flagship clinic before starting Pair Team.
