Meet Pom

Pom Health is redesigning the healthcare system around the joys of food. We empower every clinician to prescribe patients how to eat and live as a part of the standard of care.

130 million Americans are battling chronic diseases directly linked to what they eat. Heart disease diabetes obesity the list goes on. These conditions represent 85% of our $4 trillion healthcare spend yet doctors have no systematic way to prescribe nutrition the root cause intervention.

Were fixing that at Pom. We partner directly with doctors to prescribe flavorful personalized and culturally-competent nutrition care delivered by our high-quality dietitians and AI-powered coaching all embedded in existing clinical care pathways. We make food a critical part of the care plan not a side note.

Were a multi-disciplinary mission-obsessed team clinicians technologists and operators who is trying to make a difference in one of the most important problems in our country (currently 15 people including clinicians). Were grateful to be backed with over $5.3M in funding from world-class investors like NextView Ventures Female Founders Fund Flare Capital Pear Ventures and the co-founder of Instacart. Were live with our first practice customers and have served hundreds of happy patients to date.

If you believe in our mission and want to impact millions of people in need with the technology you build wed love to meet!

Together with you we want to build an organization filled with highly talented passionate and empathetic individuals who are fully committed to changing healthcare in our country. We are excited to be inspired and challenged by every addition to the team

As for a little about us we first met remotely in April 2020 at Off Their Plate working together to serve food insecurity with hundreds of thousands of meals purchased from struggling restaurants in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. We then went on to work closely together at Ribbon Health (raised $55M from a16z General Catalyst and Rock Health) launching new initiatives across Partnerships and Product. As two midwesterners (Michigan and Ohio) with immigrant parents (Iranian and Chinese) we were raised remembering the importance of neighborly community preservation of culture and the kindness of an abundant table.
