Highlights

 

Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech’s most innovative B2B founders. In today’s episode, we’re speaking with Kyle Kiser, CEO of Arrive Health, a healthcare technology platform that has raised over $40 Million in funding.

Here are the most interesting points from our conversation:

  • Inspiration from Personal Experience: The company’s origin traces back to a personal story where a co-founder, a doctor, helped his mother reduce her medication costs, highlighting the need for price transparency in healthcare.
  • Early Days: Kyle joined Arrive Health when it was a small team working out of a co-working space in Denver, emphasizing the humble beginnings and grassroots efforts of the startup.
  • Core Mission: Arrive Health aims to provide point-of-care price transparency, allowing doctors to see medication costs at the point of prescription, a crucial step in reducing patient out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Rapid Growth: From a few thousand transactions a month in 2019 to over 10 million transactions monthly, the company’s growth underscores the significant demand for their solution in the healthcare market.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with strategic investors, including health systems and associated funds, has been vital for product development and scaling the business.
  • Future Vision: Kyle envisions restoring consumer choice in healthcare, particularly in prescription drugs, by building a network that manages the complex pharma supply chain to make cost-effective medication decisions.
