Top SchoolPhil Esterman is a healthtech founder and operator with 12 years of experience building mission-driven products that scale — currently CEO of a startup whose customers support over 2M patients and manage $15B+ in annual medical spend. He previously co-founded Songbird Therapy, growing it to a 100+ person team, multimillion-dollar revenue run rate and contracts with 100+ health plans including United, Cigna, and Humana, while leading product, engineering, design, growth and payer relationships. Earlier ventures focused on edtech and family engagement, demonstrating a consistent pattern of turning research-backed ideas into funded, operational businesses. Comfortable at the intersection of clinical care, payer contracting, and product-led growth, he combines technical training (Yale, computer science) with hands-on startup leadership. Notably, he’s built companies that win both institutional partnerships and consumer trust (4.5 Glassdoor rating at Songbird), reflecting attention to culture as well as scale.
