Head of Implementation
About Freshpaint:
Healthcare is a $4+ trillion industry in the U.S. alone, and it’s undergoing a rapid digital transformation.
Hospitals, digital health companies, and life sciences organizations rely on analytics and advertising tools to reach patients, measure performance, and grow. But those tools weren’t built for regulated healthcare data. That creates real compliance risk and forces teams to choose between growth and privacy.
Freshpaint eliminates that trade-off.
We’re a privacy-first data platform that helps healthcare organizations use modern marketing and analytics tools without exposing protected health information (PHI). Freshpaint sits between a company’s website or app and the third-party tools they use, automatically detecting and controlling sensitive data before it’s shared.
In short: we let healthcare teams move fast, safely.
Backed by Top Investors
Freshpaint is backed by some of the most respected names in technology, including:
Y Combinator (OpenAI, Stripe, Airbnb, Coinbase, DoorDash)
Intel Capital (Broadcom, Astera Labs, VMware, RedHat, MongoDB)
We’ve raised tens of millions of dollars in funding to build the privacy infrastructure layer for healthcare’s digital future.
