Description
About Kontakt.io
Every day, intelligent software orchestrates the physical world around us – from matching drivers with riders to optimizing global supply chains.
Yet inside hospitals, where every second and every decision can affect a patient's life, operations are still spread across dozens of disconnected systems.
At Kontakt.io, we're changing that.
By combining proprietary hardware, AI-powered intelligence, and deep integrations with the systems hospitals already rely on, we're creating a real-time understanding of hospital operations that software alone can't deliver.
That intelligence powers the execution layer hospitals have been missing – helping care teams make smarter decisions and deliver better patient care.
Backed by Goldman Sachs and trusted by leading health systems including HCA Healthcare, Sutter Health, AdventHealth, Trinity Health, Northwell Health, Cleveland Clinic, and the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs, we're pioneering the next generation of healthcare operations.
We've more than doubled our revenue over the past year and are on track to surpass $70M in annual recurring revenue – not because we're following a market, but because we're defining one.
If you're excited to solve hard problems, work with a team of builders, and help hospitals deliver better care every day, we'd love to meet you!
