Arrakis builds better software for sales and marketing teams selling to healthcare providers.
Sam’s proudest achievement is starting an a16z and YC-backed diagnostics start-up that pivoted from genetic testing on dairy cows to diagnosing antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea (long story). 18 months later, we’d built a clinical lab from scratch, hired a world-class healthcare leadership team, processed >15k patient samples, were in-network with California MediCaid, and had developed a clinical sequencing platform capable of detecting any species of bacteria in under two hours.
Sav’s proudest achievement is that at 23, he became the CTO of the world’s largest live educational platform (Shaw Academy), serving 100k monthly active users, and leading a team of over 35 engineers.
