Mudit Garg
Co-founder and CEO

Studying at Stanford
He was born in India. He earned a bachelor's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, then a master's degree in electrical engineering and an MBA from Stanford University.
Healthcare Consulting at McKinsey
He co-founded the technology companies Vdopia and Hive, and he worked in McKinsey & Company's healthcare practice, helping large providers with how their organizations ran. In that work he saw the inefficiencies in hospital operations. "People [were] working as hard as they could and trying to do everything they could to take care of basic things and everything was happening by chance, not systematically," he said.
From analyticsMD to Qventus
In 2011, during his Stanford MBA, he built the first prototype with fellow student Ian Christopher, and with Brent Newhouse the three co-founded analyticsMD, later renamed Qventus. He built an Excel sheet to track patients more carefully. That sheet spread to more than 40 health systems and became Qventus, which connects to the electronic health record and works across hospital departments.
Mentoring Founders at StartX
He is based in Mountain View, California. The Silicon Valley Business Journal put him on its 40 Under 40 list, and he mentors founders through StartX, a startup program at Stanford.
