About the job
Join the Pom Health Team
Pom Health is revolutionizing the healthcare landscape with a focus on the joys of food. Our mission is to empower clinicians to integrate nutrition and lifestyle guidance into standard care practices.
In the United States, 130 million people face chronic diseases linked to their dietary choices. Heart disease, diabetes, and obesity account for a staggering 85% of our $4 trillion healthcare expenditure. Despite this, there is no systematic approach for doctors to prescribe nutrition—a critical intervention.
At Pom, we are changing this narrative. We collaborate directly with healthcare professionals to provide personalized, culturally-sensitive nutrition care through our skilled dietitians and AI-driven coaching, seamlessly woven into existing clinical workflows. We believe food should be a central component of a patient's care plan.
Our passionate, multidisciplinary team—comprising clinicians, technologists, and operators—consists of 15 dedicated individuals. We are proud to have secured over $5.3 million in funding from esteemed investors such as NextView Ventures, Female Founders Fund, Flare Capital, and Pear Ventures, alongside the co-founder of Instacart. With our initial practice customers onboard, we have already positively impacted hundreds of patients.
If you share our vision and wish to make a significant difference for countless individuals through your technological contributions, we would be thrilled to connect!
