Kevin Kliman

Yo, you gotta hear about Kevin Kliman. This guy’s the real deal. So, he’s the CEO, President, and Co-Founder of Humi, that sick Canadian platform that handles payroll, HR, and insurance stuff for small and medium businesses. Basically, he’s been crushing it in the startup world since way back in W17 when he jumped into YC.

But here’s the wild part, he’s not just some tech guy who stumbled into startups. Kevin’s got a legit background in dentistry. He went to USC and got his DDS from there, and before all this tech stuff, he was actually working as a dentist at DentistryInToronto. Yeah, he was out there fixing teeth, not building apps. And get this, he also founded Amalgam Waste Solutions, which is about dental waste management. The dude’s got a foot in both worlds: health and tech.

But he didn’t stop there. Kevin’s been into creating stuff from the jump. He founded Instaradio, did the mobile app iStudyCards, and DentalChimp, all about education and community, really showing he’s into building tools that connect people and solve problems. That’s his vibe: take his background in health, combine it with tech, and then scale it.

What’s super inspiring is that Kevin’s process screams passion for solving real problems. He’s not just in it for the money; he’s driven by making a difference, whether that’s in dental health or helping SMBs run smoother with Humi. You can tell he’s the type who’s always jumped into new stuff, learned on the fly, and kept pushing. That’s why he’s a YC alum, he’s got that entrepreneurial fire, no cap.

And the crazy part? Humi started in 2016 and now has about 150 people working with him. That’s no small feat, it’s clear he’s got the hustle and vision. He’s also involved in Y Combinator’s Creators Circle, which means he’s deeply embedded in the startup system, always learning, sharing, and leveling up.

Bottom line? Kevin Kliman is one of those founders who’s all about purpose, pushing boundaries, and building stuff that actually matters. His background in health, combined with his startup hustle, proves he’s here to make a real impact. That’s why he’s someone to watch, no cap.
