About Us

Metriport is an open‑source data intelligence platform that helps healthcare organizations access and exchange patient data in real time. We integrate with all major U.S. healthcare IT systems and tap into comprehensive medical data for 300+ million individuals. We have product‑market fit with multi‑million ARR, 100+ customers (including Strive Health, Circle Medical, and Brightside Health), backing from top VCs, and years of runway. We are a tight‑knit, high‑performing team of mostly former founders (including two YC alumni). We are engineering‑heavy, operate with minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy, and hire based on competence, not prestige. We push hard—founders work six days a week from our SF office—but give everyone freedom to craft their schedule. We measure output and are committed to sustainable intensity.
