A bit about us:

Kinsa was founded with a mission to stop illness from spreading by knowing where and when it starts. Our mission has never been more important or more relevant than it is right now. We are leading the charge in the fight against COVID-19, while vigilantly monitoring for outbreaks of Flu and other seasonal illness.
We do this by transforming anonymized, opt-in temperature data from our user friendly thermometers into a publicly available real-time map of illness that is so accurate, we are able to predict Covid-19 outbreaks well before other health agencies. Kinsa's system is so effective it has been featured in the New York Times, on Rachel Maddow, CNBC, FOX News, The Economist, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and other media outlets.

Why join us?

The team at Kinsa works at the intersection of technology, healthcare, and design. We're backed by Kleiner Perkins, GSR Ventures, FirstMark Capital and others, and are led by some of the top public health, software, hardware and mobile app minds in the business. Our founders and executives have started successful ventures, created best selling mobile apps and smartphone-connected devices, and led programs that have put millions of people onto life-saving treatment.
Driven by our mission to track and stop the spread of contagious illness. We've done this by transforming the first device you grab when sickness strikes - the thermometer - into a sensor to detect when and where illness is rising, and communicate with those who have just fallen ill. We are technologists, designers and health professionals who have built best-selling products, started successful ventures, and brought life-saving treatments to millions of people. We are backed by successful entrepreneurs and top VCs like Kleiner Perkins, GSR Ventures and FirstMark Capital.
