Rebecca Palm, Founder, Copatient
1. Why Boston?
The startup culture here in Boston is unlike any other- especially for tech-driven companies. We have found a great community here and are constantly inspired by our peers.
Copatient is a strong 7- it takes a certain person to not only work in healthcare, but love every aspect of it- flaws included. We have a team here that is so passionate about healthcare and about the way copatient is disrupting the system.
