Early Death

Samira Daswini is CEO of Manta Cares. Her career in consulting and digital health startups took a left turn when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had 18 months of visits with 123 appointments, 5 ER visits and much more. And it was very hard to manage her journey. So she built a paper based map/guide and started distributing it via hospitals in the gift shops and elsewhere. Manta Cares is the digital instantiation of that cancer map with symptom tracking and an AI chatbot on top of the map. Samira demoed it extensively for me. She raised some seed funding, and is now building it out for 80% of cancers–Matthew Holt
