About Kivo Health

Kivo Health provides telehealth lung therapy to people with chronic lung disease.

Lung therapy is similar to physical therapy. It includes guided exercise and live education. Our 9-week, insurance-billed program connects patients to our therapists in real-time. We help patients feel better, get back to everyday activities and stay out of the hospital. Because we reduce hospitalizations, we save payers an average of $8k per patient.

We're working directly with UCLA, Stanford and other major health systems across 9 states. We're making money, growing quickly and are looking for engineers to scale our service to all 50 states.

Some more about us:

• We're working directly with UCLA, Stanford and other health systems in 9 states.
• We're well capitalized and have advisors from YCombinator, Cricket, Virta, and the COPD Foundation.
• Vaughn (CTO) is a serial YC tech founder with an exit to Trulia, and Victor (CEO) is a Stanford-trained physician.
• Our patients love us: "Kivo is a miracle to me... I could never have attended any other way."

If you want to work at a high-growth startup, and have a direct impact on patients' lives, come work with us! We're growing quickly, so this is a great opportunity to join early. Some similar companies that became unicorns are Virta, Somatus, Cricket, and Hinge Health (IPO May 2025).
