Note: I had stopped writing posts in 2017. Slowly getting back into it in 2024, mostly for AI.

Nuna

Jan 24, 2017 | Analytics

Nunanuna has the right mix of all the tailwinds a startup can ask for: talented team, big funding cushion, valuable data and huge market.

Founder Jini Kim was one of the Google PMs who was poached to rescue Healthcare.gov. That inroad, plus personal experience taking care of her autistic brother led to Nuna’s current shape.

Nuna has the enviable access to Medicaid’s records of 74 million beneficiaries. The cloud-based data warehouse that Nuna is building would be able to generate deep insights that probably have never been surfaced before.

Nuna just announced $90M funding round right out of the gate with the legendary KPCB name backing them. That should give enough runway to make a big dent in a stolid, opaque space.

Adding it to the 10 Year Watchlist. Should be interesting.
