About

Loula is a software platform and national provider network for independent birth & postpartum doulas to boost their practices by accepting health insurance. Doulas typically operate outside of the traditional healthcare system and face an enormous learning curve and administrative burden when trying to accept insurance. This is why we created Loula. Starting with doulas in California, Loula handles their credentialing, contracting, and revenue cycle management so that they can focus on delivering the best quality care to their clients.

CEO @ Loula I'm a Brooklyn-based health tech nerd and former software engineer, obsessed with empowering independent perinatal healthcare providers (think doulas, midwives, and lactation consultants) and making their services more accessible to those who need it most. Prior to starting Loula, I studied CS at Stanford and was a software engineer at Lyft and Stripe. When I'm not working on Loula, I'm throwing pottery, riding my bike, watching tv, or decorating my apartment :)

Onu takes away the pain of building complex frontends for internal tooling with script automation and auto-generated UIs.

Onu is a developer-first tool that converts engineers’ ops/CX scripts and workflows into production-ready internal tools without frontend coding. It targets engineering and operations teams, offering quick tool creation, task execution logs, environment-safe runs, and built-in integrations for notifications and actions.
