About Tennr
At Tennr, we’re tackling one of healthcare’s biggest hidden problems head-on: outdated communication systems that compromise patient care and provider efficiency. Even today, essential medical information—like specialist referrals—is often shared via fax, resulting in lengthy, error-filled PDFs cluttered with handwritten notes. Rather than trying to force change overnight, Tennr’s proprietary technology intelligently harnesses existing healthcare communication channels, extracting maximum value from what’s already in place.Our advanced AI platform, RaeLLM™, seamlessly interprets and digitizes millions of medical documents, proactively identifying and clarifying vital information directly with providers and instantly engaging patients through personalized texts.
The result? Accelerated care, significantly fewer errors, and better patient outcomes—transforming legacy processes into powerful opportunities for improvement.Founded at Stanford and launched through Y Combinator, Tennr has raised $57M from leading investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Foundation Capital. From our NYC headquarters, we're committed to fundamentally enhancing the way patients and providers experience healthcare—turning existing, antiquated communications into streamlined, life-improving interactions.
