CO-FOUNDER / CEO
TEBRA TECHNOLOGIES INC.
WHY: Co-founded Scour, a music search engine that was sold in 2000. In 2004, founded company to make medical billing easier for doctors and their staff. In 2022, raised $72M with a $1B valuation. Tebra was derived from “vertebrae” and symbolizes its “backbone role” in medical practices. Almost 1,000 employees companywide.
IN THE NEWS: Recognized in the Healthcare Technology Report’s list of Top 50 CEOs in Healthcare IT, E&Y as an Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist, Goldman Sachs as one of the 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs, and the Software Report as a Top 50 SaaS CEO in the United States.
NOTABLE: Institutional investor in 2022 round was Newport Beach’s Toba Capital, the largest venture capital firm based in Orange County; it was begun by Vinny Smith, the CEO who engineered the $2.4B sale of Quest Software to Dell.
IN HIS WORDS: “Consumers are paying more and more for their healthcare. They are demanding digital first. Many traditional healthcare practices don’t have the tools and know-how. Healthcare is one of those industries that has lagged others in the consumer experience. Like Shopify is for e-commerce —Tebra is that operating system for healthcare.”
