A Brief History of Zocdoc

Post by sumonasumonakha.t »

Zocdoc was founded in 2007 by Cyrus Massoumi, Oliver Kharraz, and Nick Ganju. The idea for the company came from Massoumi’s personal experience of suffering a burst eardrum while on a business trip. Frustrated by the difficulty of finding a doctor and getting an appointment, Massoumi realized that there was a significant gap in the healthcare industry that needed to be filled.

The founders created a platform to make it easier for individuals to find healthcare providers truemoney data and book appointments. They believed that technology could streamline the process and provide a seamless experience for both patients and doctors. The initial idea was to create an online directory of doctors, but the team quickly realized that this wasn’t enough to solve the problem.

To further develop their business model, the founders conducted extensive research and reached out to doctors and patients to understand their needs and pain points. This led to the evolution of Zocdoc into a comprehensive online healthcare marketplace.

In late 2007, at the TechCrunch40 conference, Zocdoc officially launched its platform. The platform allowed users to search for doctors based on location, specialty, insurance coverage, and availability. It also allowed patients to see real-time availability and book appointments instantly, eliminating time-consuming phone calls.
