Darya Moldavskaya

For real, let me enlighten you about Darya Moldavskaya, straight up, this girl is the real deal in health tech and startups. She’s part of YC’s S19 batch, which means she crushed it early on, YC doesn’t just let anyone in, right? She’s been on a serious grind, jumping into big names like Goldman Sachs, Mercer, and even the International Labour Organization before diving into her own thing.

But what’s crazy is how she took all that experience and flipped it into ReverCare, a YC-backed startup that’s all about elder care, like concierge style. Think of it as the Uber for senior care, super personalized and tech-powered. She co-founded this in 2018, and it’s clear she’s all about making a real impact, not just chasing the next shiny thing.

Before ReverCare, she was deep in the trenches as a data science consultant and product manager at healthcare startups. That’s where she learned how to turn complex data into something actually useful, big skills that she’s now using to shake up elder care. Now she’s a Senior Tech Program Manager at Microsoft Research, working in NYC with their New England and Montreal Labs, talk about being at the forefront of tech innovation.

And she’s not just behind the scenes, she’s out there representing female founders big time. She’s been featured at YC’s Female Founders Conference, showing she’s all about lifting others up and proving that women can crush it in tech and startups.

Her story? It’s all about hustle, purpose, and dreaming big. From finance and labor orgs to healthcare and then tech giants, she’s collected skills and experiences like badges of honor. But more than that, she’s driven by a desire to make stuff better, for seniors, for healthcare, for society.

Bottom line? Darya is one of those founders who’s not just building startups to make money, she’s doing it to solve real problems. She’s the kind of person who sees a challenge and jumps into it headfirst, with no bullshit, just pure passion and smarts. That’s why she’s so important. She’s proof that with the right mix of skills, grit, and heart, you can really change the game.
