AL AND DAVE
Al and Dave met freshman year at the University of
Michigan, went to medical school and reunited In
Portland to found and lead disruptive health companies.
In 2006 they launched ZOOM+Care, which became the
leading on-demand health platform caring for over
500,000 people in 36 locations in Portland and Seattle.
It's been an extraordinary journey full of success and
failures, growth and learning. This site shares their
journey with those passionate about founding and
building innovative health organizations.
Al and Dave believe that the U.S. health industry is a failure. They believe U.S. healthcare in locked in a bygone industrial era mindset reinforced by outdated government regulation. They believe that the only hope is through a new generation of entrepreneurial companies that disrupt the old way. In fact, they are convinced that stirring in a garage somewhere in the world, is the first company that will care for 1 billion people.
