Our take

The increasing costs and difficulty of drug discovery requires healthcare organizations and pharmaceutical companies to be able to quickly connect to professionals and thought leaders with specific credentials or research history. H1 addresses these needs by allowing life sciences companies, hospitals and healthcare systems to locate the professionals they need.

H1 is the world’s largest healthcare database. It acts a bit like LinkedIn for healthcare professionals, and has already built a network of more than 9 million users. It has also built a corporate client base of 250 enterprises which is able to access its data which spans more than 250 million patients and over 10 billion health care claims.

The company graduated from Y Combinator's accelerator program in January 2020, and has since raised considerable funding, expanded into Europe and Asia, and built out its data network. It continues to attract investment, most lately from CVS Health Ventures, which showcases the industry regard for its offering.
