Company mission
To make healthcare better than it is today.
Our take
Started in 2020, Curative was originally founded on the basis of developing sepsis tests for hospitals but made a quick turn to focus on the COVID-19 pandemic a few months later.
Alongside its focus on supplying tests, Curative also has its own health plan for Austin, Texas citizens. This includes copay and deductible-free services and access to a high-tech wellness center in Austin, Texas.
Pivoting from test development to healthcare plans was a key move for Curative. Since the 2020 and 2021 crises have to an extent stabilized, test supply has become less of a priority for national organizations. Thanks to its success in partnerships with the likes of the US Airforce and KorvaLabs, Curative gained insight into the US economic healthcare infrastructure and has designed a healthcare plan that is boutique to the patient.
This plan is only applicable to Austin citizens at the moment and Curative should look to expand their coverage to benefit other parts of Texas too.

Company values
- Radical Ambition - Rebuilding healthcare is not for the faint of heart, but Curative is up to the challenge. When COVID-19 testing was few and far between, it was standing up mass testing sites around the country. Now it's applying that same operational vision to optimize the healthcare delivery system. Every challenge is an opportunity, and every opportunity brings the potential to improve healthcare as Curative knows it.
- Proven Competency - Curative's work is done with intentionality based on the latest science and technology. Even if it moves fast, Curative has the extensive research and testing behind it. Its employees come from hugely diverse backgrounds, years of experience, and fields of education. No matter where they start, Curative encourages employees to grow into new positions and keep developing their skills.
- Collective Power - Healthcare doesn’t live in a vacuum. It is about where people live and work. Curative collaborates with diverse community partners to raise awareness and make healthcare delivery stronger.
- Universal Accessibility - Everyone should be able to get the care they need, when they need it. Curative made COVID-19 testing and vaccinations accessible through kiosks, vans, and drive-thrus to meet people where they are and build health equity. Now Curative is building high-touch preventive healthcare for our communities.
- Essential Functionality - Healthcare is filled with unnecessarily high costs and many new solutions can be more for show. Through Curative's vertically integrated systems and data-driven decision making tools, it guides care to what’s needed and what’s preventive, while cutting out the unneeded.
