CrowdMed

CrowdMed was a pioneering healthcare startup that aimed to leverage the collective intelligence of a diverse online community to expedite the diagnosis of challenging medical cases. The platform offered a unique solution for individuals, insurance companies, and self-insured corporations seeking to lower healthcare expenditures while maintaining quality of care. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, CrowdMed garnered substantial venture capital backing from prominent firms including NEA, Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, SV Angel, Khosla Ventures, and Y Combinator. The company also benefited from the guidance of advisors who had previously founded and managed some of the world's leading online healthcare platforms, such as WebMD. CrowdMed participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2013 cohort and was officially introduced at the TEDMED 2013 conference held in Washington, D.C. The company is now inactive.
