About Tennr

Tennr is tackling healthcare's outdated communication systems that hinder patient care. Our AI platform, RaeLLM™, digitizes medical documents, clarifies information with providers, and engages patients via text, leading to faster care, fewer errors, and better outcomes. Founded at Stanford, Y Combinator-backed, and having raised $57M from top VCs (Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed, Foundation Capital), Tennr is one of the fastest-growing companies in the country, and we're revolutionizing healthcare communication from our NYC HQ.
