TLDR

We are hiring an Executive Assistant (EA) to partner with Neons leadership team and keep the company operating at high velocity.

About us: join the team making life?saving drugs accessible

The crisis: Sarah delayed cancer treatment for weeks facing $30,000 monthly costs. Marcus's autoimmune condition worsened while battling insurance denials.

Over 50% of critical prescriptions are abandoned due to:

  • Powerhouse backing: Were funded by elite Silicon Valley VCs who've backed unicorns like DoorDash, Lyft, and Mammoth Biosciences. And strategic healthcare investors with deep industry connections.

  • Outsized impact & opportunity: Work at the intersection of agentic AI, healthcare transformation, and life?changing patient outcomes.
