How to Actually Get Hired

Hannah is a young founder with an unusually grounded understanding of the healthcare billing problem she is solving, and her career trajectory before Pocket shows someone who deliberately sought out the messy intersection of finance and healthcare rather than arriving there by accident. She studied at Babson College, one of the few undergraduate institutions that treats entrepreneurship as a primary academic discipline rather than an extracurricular. Babson's programme is designed around building commercial judgement under uncertainty, and it produces founders who understand unit economics, customer discovery, and market entry in ways that a computer science background alone typically does not. Before founding Pocket she worked in investment banking, an experience she has written about publicly, she described her first all-nighter in banking during week five of an internship in San Francisco on a pitch deck, an anecdote she shared on LinkedIn. That background gives her the financial modelling fluency that healthcare revenue cycle businesses require and that many technical founders lack. She built Pocket over approximately a year of "heads down" work before the AlleyWatch announcement surfaced the pre-seed. That timeline, a year of building before raising, is the signal of founders who achieve product-product fit before funding, not after it. The Pocket product page shows three specific customer testimonials about time saved on verification calls, not "we're excited to partner with this team" boilerplate, but operational feedback from clinics describing actual workflow change. Hannah books demos directly at calendly.com/hannah-letspocket and is the primary commercial contact.

Ben is the technical co-founder responsible for the infrastructure that makes Pocket's HIPAA-compliant clearinghouse integrations, AI medical reasoning engine, and voice calling pipeline work. His public profile is deliberately low, he does not appear to maintain an active public presence, which for a healthcare infrastructure builder building during regulatory-sensitive early company formation is a deliberate and sensible posture. What is known: he and Hannah met and decided to co-found together, with Hannah taking CEO and Ben taking CTO, which is a clean division of labour that suggests complementary rather than overlapping strengths. He appears on the Wellfound company listing as CTO.
