About Clarion

The hardest part of healthcare shouldn’t be getting an appointment. Today, medical staff drown in backlogs of calls, faxes, and scheduling requests. Patients struggle to get the right care at the right time, staff members burn out, and clinics lose billions in revenue. This isn’t a failure of care - it’s a failure of capacity.

Clarion exists to solve this problem at scale. Our AI agents handle the patient journey from end-to-end; from scheduling and rescheduling appointments, to managing referrals and prescription refills. Our AI performs complex workflows with a human-like touch that patients love.

We’ve raised $5.5M from Accel, Y Combinator, and Sequoia (Scout), along with founders from Ophelia, Medallion, and Counsel Health. We’re an in-person team based in New York City, moving quickly to ensure every patient gets the care they need.

Why Join Us?

Solving a real-world challenge : We’re addressing a critical problem that affects millions of patients and providers daily. Our AI agents outperform human schedulers and restore the time needed to focus on patients.

Early-stage with strong market validation : We’ve seen 10x revenue growth in the last year alone. We handle millions of interactions for customers ranging from virtual care clinics to a $5B health insurance company.

Founding team : Our co-founders bring a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape. Our CEO is a Stanford/Harvard-trained physician and clinical ops leader (Two Chairs, Ophelia), and our CTO is an ex-Amazon Alexa engineer who led AI/ML teams at Salesforce.

Outsized early impact : You'll be joining at an early stage where your contributions shape our company's trajectory, processes, and culture, with significant influence on how we grow.
