Incredible Health Co-founder Iman Abuzeid's Journey from Doctor to Tech Entrepreneur

From Medicine to Entrepreneurship

Iman Abuzeid, after completing medical school in London, chose not to pursue a residency. She realized her interest lay in addressing healthcare problems on a larger scale than individual patient care, leading her to entrepreneurship and technology.

Abuzeid co-founded Incredible Health, a San Francisco-based healthcare hiring platform. She aimed to use software to reach millions of users, contrasting with the one-on-one nature of medical practice.

Incredible Health's Growth and Funding

Incredible Health has secured approximately $97.5 million in funding from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Base10 Partners, Obvious Ventures, Precursor Ventures, and NFX. The platform reports usage by 1.5 million healthcare professionals, including half of all U.S. nurses, and 1,500 healthcare employers.

The company, launched in 2017, focuses on reversing the traditional hiring process, making employers apply to healthcare professionals.

Background and Career Path

Before founding Incredible Health, Abuzeid's career included medical training, advising healthcare companies at Booz Allen and McKinsey, and working as a product manager at a health tech startup. She also earned an MBA from the Wharton School, specializing in healthcare and entrepreneurship.

Abuzeid's entrepreneurial interest was influenced by her grandfathers, who were entrepreneurs in Sudan. She moved to London at 18 for her education and later immigrated to New York, eventually settling in San Francisco in 2013.
