Founders’ story

But he is lending his tech expertise to innovations that improve the healthcare experiences for patients and their loved ones because he believes that “sickness sucks.” Tyler is an alumnus of the Techstars accelerator program. He has dedicated his career to improving healthcare experiences for patients and their loved ones. This philosophy led to his founding of Prime.
