Leona is on a mission to empower everyone to take the best care of themselves, their patients, and their loved ones. We have an ambitious goal: to transform the way the world interacts with healthcare, because where you live shouldn't determine the quality of care you receive.
For patients, managing your health should feel empowering, not intimidating. For doctors, we want to eliminate the administrative noise so you can focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care. We're reimagining what it looks like for doctors to care for patients in an AI-first world — starting with a platform that streamlines doctor-patient communication via WhatsApp, acting as an AI clinical assistant that automates non-urgent tasks, surfaces what's urgent, and gives patients the convenience of reaching their care team 24/7.
With bases in San Francisco and Mexico City, our team brings together years of experience scaling companies like Uber, Rappi, Modern Fertility, and Wonder across the US and Latin America. We're backed by a16z, General Catalyst, and Accel, and a remarkable group of angels including the founders of Nubank, Rappi, and Maven Clinic.
If you're hungry to build 0-to-1, and roll up your sleeves to make magic, thrive in ambiguity, and care deeply about building a better future, this role might be the perfect fit for you.

What We Do
Leona is on a mission to empower everyone to take the best care of themselves and their loved ones. We are looking to offer millions of patients high quality medical information and care, at an accessible price point and much more conveniently than the current healthcare system offers, ultimately driving better health outcomes. Where you live shouldn’t impact your access to high quality care. We want to change the way the world interacts with healthcare. For patients, it should feel empowering, and unintimidating, to proactively take care of yourself and your loved ones. For doctors, we want to enable them to focus on what matters most, delivering the best possible care, by providing better information and tooling, as well as helping them to prioritize based on urgency and complexity. We will create the best experience in healthcare, and strive to become an intelligent triage, the first place people come when seeking information & care. Our first product focuses on improving communication between doctors and patients using WhatsApp. Our team has a diverse background, with many years of experience scaling tech companies throughout the US and Latin America (Uber, Rappi, Modern Fertility, Wonder, among others.)
