Founder backgrounds

Andrei Zudin

CTO & Co-Founder

Holds a PhD in Computer Science from Moscow State Institute of Electronics and Mathematics and an MS from Lomonosov Moscow State University. Prior to co-founding Health Gorilla, Zudin built a career in software architecture and security, with a focus on complex systems integration — experience he applied directly to healthcare interoperability. As CTO, he led the technical development of Health Gorilla's FHIR-native platform, which includes a national master patient index and connectivity to over 92% of US healthcare organizations. Under his technical leadership, the company became a Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) under TEFCA and operates a statewide health information exchange in Puerto Rico. In 2021, DirectTrust recognized him as an Interoperability Hero for his contributions to real-time, secure clinical data exchange.

Sergio Wagner

Chief Strategy Officer & Co-Founder

Co-founded Health Gorilla in 2014 alongside Steve Yaskin and Andrei Zudin. Prior to Health Gorilla, Wagner held roles at health IT and enterprise software companies including McKesson, Sunquest, Misys, and Remedly, and worked at Queplix and Auriga. He studied at Lomonosov Moscow State University. As Chief Strategy Officer, Wagner has helped steer the company toward becoming a Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN), building an interoperability platform that provides access to longitudinal clinical data covering the majority of the U.S. patient population.

Steve Yaskin

Co-Founder

Prior to Health Gorilla, Yaskin founded Queplix, a data-integration company focused on porting legacy applications to the cloud. He also founded Elite Medical, which was acquired by Carbon Health. His background spans data management, privacy, and applied analytics — directly informing Health Gorilla's approach to real-time clinical data exchange. Yaskin studied at Drexel University. He is additionally a partner at Digital Health Venture Partners (DHVP.io) and, in 2024, launched a new venture, beHuman, focused on AI-driven early cancer detection.

AI bull / bear

Bull case

Health Gorilla sits inside one of the narrowest regulatory moats in healthtech: it is one of only a handful of designated Qualified Health Information Networks (QHINs) under TEFCA, the federal framework that mandates nationwide interoperability. That designation is not a partnership—it is a government-vetted license to serve as essential data plumbing for the entire US healthcare system. Add dual status as a California QHIO, and Health Gorilla can operate in both the largest state economy and the federal exchange fabric simultaneously. Every hospital, payer, and digital health app that needs compliant, real-time clinical data becomes a potential customer. The platform delivers deduplicated, AI-ready data—exactly what clinical AI developers and value-based care operators need to train models and close care gaps. TIME’s 2025 Top HealthTech Companies recognition signals growing market awareness. With $77 million in backing from SignalFire and others, the company has the capital to scale its network effects before competitors can replicate its regulatory standing. As TEFCA adoption accelerates, Health Gorilla is positioned to become the toll bridge for clinical data exchange.

Bear case

A regulatory designation is a head start, not a finish line. Health Gorilla’s QHIN status under TEFCA is shared with competitors including Epic, eHealth Exchange, and KONZA, meaning the moat is real but not exclusive. Epic’s PULSE network already connects over 1,000 hospitals and commands deep EHR workflow integration that Health Gorilla cannot easily dislodge. The company’s last disclosed funding was a $50 million Series C in March 2022—over three years ago with no public signal of a subsequent round. In a market where AI-health startups routinely raise nine-figure rounds, that silence raises questions about growth trajectory, burn rate, or valuation discipline. Meanwhile, TEFCA adoption remains uneven; provider organizations face competing regulatory mandates and may delay QHIN participation until forced. Health Gorilla must also contend with the reality that payers and large health systems often build or buy their own interoperability layers rather than pay a third party per transaction. Without sustained capital infusions and clear commercial differentiation beyond its QHIN badge, Health Gorilla risks being outflanked by better-funded, vertically integrated incumbents.
