Dr. Roja Garimella, MD, MBA, is the Founder and CEO of Kubera Health, an AI-native platform building the contract-to-payment system of record for American healthcare.

She earned her MD with a scholarly concentration in medical technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship from Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School, and her MBA from Harvard Business School.

Having worked on both the clinical and business sides of healthcare at Humana and Commonwealth Care Alliance, Dr. Garimella recognized that healthcare's biggest barriers to better care were financial, not clinical, and chose an entrepreneurial path to fix them.

Prior to founding Kubera Health, she held roles at McKinsey and Company, served as entrepreneur-in-residence at Boundless Venture Co., and led early-stage healthcare and biotech investments at FCA Venture Partners and Winter Street Ventures. She has also published 15+ medical journal articles and contributed to changes in diagnostic guidelines.

Kubera Health raised $6.5M in seed funding led by Upfront Ventures in 2026, with every customer to date expanding their engagement, including Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, as the platform targets the $1 trillion annual US healthcare administrative burden.
