Other
- At Clarion, we're rebuilding how healthcare communicates in the age of AI. Today, clinics miss 30-40% of patient calls while staff drowns in administrative tasks. We believe AI agents should handle these workflows—scheduling, billing, prescription refills—so healthcare teams can focus on actual patient care.
- We're building the communication infrastructure that modern healthcare desperately needs. Our AI agents don't just answer calls; they complete entire workflows end-to-end, giving providers back their time and ensuring patients never go unheard. We've already handled hundreds of thousands of patient interactions across virtual care companies, health systems, and a $5B health insurance company.
- Founded by a Stanford/Harvard-trained physician who was on the founding team of Two Chairs and Ophelia, and an ex-Amazon Alexa engineer who led AI/ML teams at Salesforce, we uniquely understand both the clinical and technical challenges of transforming healthcare communication.
- We've raised $10M from Accel, Y Combinator, Sequoia (scout) , and healthcare founders from Ophelia, Medallion, and Counsel Health. We're an in-person team based in New York, moving fast to ensure no patient call goes unanswered.
- Define and own our story: Craft positioning and messaging that transforms Clarion from "another AI vendor" into the trusted partner healthcare teams need
- Generate pipeline at scale: Build and execute campaigns that fill our funnel with qualified healthcare executives ready to transform their operations
- Build trust through relationships: Create intimate customer dinners, executive roundtables, and strategic gatherings that deepen relationships with buyers and influencers
- Turn conferences into pipeline: Maximize ROI from 10+ annual conferences through strategic meetings, speaking opportunities, and customer events (not expensive booths)
- Create content that converts: Develop case studies, ROI calculators, blog posts, and sales materials that move deals forward
- Enable sales to win: Arm our team with competitive intelligence, battlecards, and thought leadership that helps close deals against funded competitors
- You believe marketing is about building trust, not just generating awareness
- You understand that in healthcare, relationships and reputation drive deals more than SEO
- You measure success by pipeline influenced and competitive deals won, not vanity metrics
- You're comfortable being the only marketer while laying foundation for future hires
- You can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution across multiple channels
