Otta's take

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are prime concerns for individuals and employers. In fact, 1 in 2 Americans experience some form of back and joint pain. Hinge Health has created a platform that brings treatment providers and patients together in order to prevent, treat and rehabilitate a variety of MSK conditions.

MSK spending has nearly doubled from $10 billion to almost $20 billion over the last 10 years. Analysis by Hinge Health indicates that MSK is an employer's highest medical claim expense. Despite this, patient results have not improved, which has led to a reported 70% of employers looking to adopt a digital MSK solution.

This wealth of opportunity has led to Hinge Health providing digital MSK clinics for employees at 1000+ companies, including Salesforce, US Foods and Boeing. With a valuation of over $6 billion, the company stands as one of the most valuable startups in digital health, and will be pursuing profitability as it prepares for a possible IPO.

  • Create trust - Hinge Health checks its ego at the door and collaborates to help its entire team be successful. It's honest and transparent, and it honors commitments

  • Think long-term - Hinge Health understands that great big trees start from small seeds nurtured over many years. It doesn't sacrifice long-term value for short-term results
  • Make results happen - Hinge Health measures outcomes by results and impact, not actions or good intentions. It says no to a lot of important opportunities to put maximum resources behind the few initiatives that will really move the needle
  • Lead at all levels - Hinge Health excels at high-level strategy and values the intuition that comes from spending time with the details. It effectively allocates its time between the two and can tell when something needs closer attention, especially when metrics and anecdotes don't align
  • Act like owners - Hinge Health shows good judgment in allocating resources in a way that's best for the company, not just its own teams. It has high standards because its name is on the door
