Evelyn Gillie

Yo, you gotta hear about Evelyn Gillie, aka Evie. This girl is the real deal in the health tech game. She’s a YC alum from S19, yeah, she jumped into the startup world straight outta the big leagues, and she crushed it. Before all that, she was at Facebook, Google, and even Flexport and Sift, so she’s got mad experience in the tech and logistics space. Plus, she’s done her time at Stanford, so she’s no stranger to hustle and innovation.

But what’s really dope is her story with Hey Healthcare. She co-founded this SF-based health tech startup back in 2019, and their whole vibe is automating medical billing and all that boring, tedious admin stuff that docs and hospitals hate. Think reporting, authorizations, denial management, credentialing, basically making healthcare admin less bullshit and more smooth. She’s been out there pitching this at YC Demo Day, which is a huge deal, and they’ve already raised 150 grand. Not a huge fundraise, but that’s just the start for a company that’s tackling a huge problem.

What’s super inspiring is how she’s been recognized as a woman founder in the health tech scene, no cap, that’s still a big deal in a mostly male-dominated world. She’s out here representing women in tech, making moves, and proving that you don’t need to play by the old boys’ rules to win.

Looking at her process, it’s clear she’s all about solving real problems with tech. Her past gigs at Facebook, Google, and other big names gave her the skills and network she needed to build something meaningful. She saw how messy and inefficient healthcare billing is, and instead of just talking about it, she jumped into the startup world to fix it. That’s what makes her stand out, she’s not just chasing shiny tech; she’s out here trying to make healthcare better, faster, smarter.

And honestly, her story says a lot about her motivation. She’s driven by real-world problems and a desire to make an impact, not just chasing fame or cash. Started from a solid background, jumped into YC, the place where founders are made, and now she’s out here building something that could change how healthcare works.

So yeah, Evelyn Gillie isn’t just another founder. She’s a legit innovator, a woman breaking barriers, and someone who’s really out here making the healthcare system less bullshit. Keep an eye on her, she’s only getting started.
