Hi, I'm Kanav Jain


I've been building in digital health since 2011. My specialty is building software physicians and doctors-in-training actually want to use. Crazy idea, I know.Today I serve andwise as its co-founder and CEO. It has been a privilege to build this company with an amazing team of physicians and technologists.My background
With a scholarship to med school in hand, I spent what I thought was going to be a gap year at Epic. I was stunned by the software I saw physicians being forced to deal with, deferred my acceptance, and left to join Doximity (NYSE:DOCS) as an early product management hire to build doctors better tools.
Instead of med school I led the development and launch of Doximity Dialer, a mobile app that gives clinicians the power to dial out to patients using an office caller ID. Since we first launched in 2016, it's been used to conduct over 200 million telehealth visits. Dialer was rated the #1 Best in KLAS telehealth app for the last two years in a row (2022, 2023).After 4 years at Doximity I got my MBA at NYU Stern, specializing in Finance and Tech. I spent most of my time investing and advising tech founders as part of Red Sea Ventures and Rough Draft Ventures.After the MBA I moved back to Atlanta to lead the development of an integrated digital oncology care marketplace called CancerCompass. The pandemic led us to shift our focus to COVID response efforts at CTCA, which was acquired in 2021 by City of Hope, an NCI-designated Cancer Center.At Transcarent, I led a team of product managers accountable for the success all of our virtual care products, as well as digitally-enabled experiences that enable access to our direct care ecosystem, covering acute events and chronic conditions. I left to focus my full attention on building Andwise.I have been lucky to work on healthcare from a number of angles — I've published NASA-funded research on the RNA-based origins of life, advised hundreds of hospitals on physician quality reporting at Epic, studied circulating tumor cells in lung cancer at MSKCC, worked on reducing infection rates in surgery sites at Emory, and helped turn a decision model into an app for diabetes medication management (now a startup).Stuff you should know about me:
I'm happiest when I can build products whose success is driven by how delightful they are to end-users, rather than just relying on fancy dinners and annual conferences to win & renew business.
I enjoy building the picks & shovels for tech-enabled services: simple workflow tools, search engines, prioritization/personalization models, and multimodal communication. Multi-sided platforms and marketplaces with high LTV/CAC are my bread and butter.I aspire to build products that increase access for people marginalized by costs, geography, and ability.I get excited when I can find a new use case for technology that already exists. To me, these are the most elegant solutions.In the workplace and in life, I love creating transformative environments where people can feel like themselves and be empowered to take bolder risks.Get in touch:
