About Apylon and the opportunity

Apylon is building the intelligent revenue management platform for European healthcare. Billions of euros flow between hospitals and insurers through fragmented, manual workflows — a maze of rules, conditions and requirements.

We believe this is a machine learning and automation problem disguised as financial operations.

Apylon is backed by experienced operators and top-tier investors in healthcare and fintech. Our team draws on experience from Zendesk, Pleo, Wawa Fertility, Sibill, and some of the largest multi-country hospital groups in Europe.

As a Founders Associate, you’ll work directly with the founding team on the highest-priority challenges facing the company. This is a unique opportunity to gain exposure to all aspects of building a venture-backed startup — from strategy and operations to customer success and fundraising.
