Chief of Staff

Valerie Health is an AI front office for independent provider groups. We are reimagining how independent practices operate by using AI to modernize patient and provider communication interfaces, provide better care, and drive operational efficiencies.

We’re led by founders with deep healthcare and tech experience: Pete Shalek, a repeat founder and operator with two health tech exits (including a $600M acquisition by Optum), and Nitin Joshi, who has built and scaled several 0–1 and 1–100 businesses, including Uber Eats, Uber Health, Stripe Connect, and Bridge ($1.1B acquisition by Stripe).

We’re scaling rapidly, automating tens of thousands of tasks each week less than a year post-launch, and growing 50%+ month-over-month. We’re backed by General Catalyst, Primary Ventures, BoxGroup, and leading angels, including the founders of One Medical and Oscar.

Join us to build the operational backbone for independent practices and shape the future of modern healthcare.
