Alloy Partners (formerly High Alpha Innovation) is a venture builder with a radical thesis: that we can build and scale advantaged companies in partnership with corporations, universities, and entrepreneurs. We believe we can unlock growth and transformation for our partners through startup creation. Venture building has the potential to address society’s biggest problems, and the world needs more new companies to tackle these global issues. Launching new startups with scaled organizations enables them to address those challenges head-on.

Alloy Partners and the University of Notre Dame partnered to establish a first-of-its-kind venture studio (the 1842 Studio) and venture fund (the 1842 Fund) that aligns with Notre Dame’s mission of serving as a “Force for Good” in the world. In close partnership with the University and its vast “ND Family” of alumni, corporate, community, and academic leaders, the 1842 Studio aims to co-create startups that address important societal challenges, such as improving health access and outcomes for our most vulnerable populations. The 1842 Fund has committed to investing $1M into a new company to equip healthcare providers with scalable tools and support systems to more effectively address social determinants of health and reduce disparities in care.

We are seeking a world-class entrepreneur for the role of CEO and Co-Founder for our newest company, which is currently in stealth mode (hereafter “StealthCo”). StealthCo is a conversational intelligence platform that enables health systems and specifically, community health workers, to collect accurate, actionable social needs data that recognizes and considers social, cultural, and language barriers among a health system's population.

StealthCo is tackling one of the most urgent and overlooked challenges in healthcare: the failure of existing systems to reliably identify and address patients' non-medical social needs—factors like housing insecurity, food access, and transportation—that deeply influence more than half of health outcomes. While health systems are under pressure to improve patient care and reduce costs, they lack scalable, effective tools to surface these root-cause issues and take meaningful action. As a result, providers experience increased burnout, underlying drivers of inequity remain unresolved, and disparities in health outcomes persist. StealthCo is designed to address this challenge and improve outcomes.

You'll be supported by Alloy Partners’ Go-to-Market (GTM) experts and the 1842 Studio team, who have decades of collective experience guiding founders with their GTM motions and launch strategies: from securing early customers and investors to establishing product development and sales functions.

As the CEO and Co-Founder, you will be responsible for building a big, important, and durable business from the ground up. You will work to build conviction with the market, investors, and early customers as you bring the product to market. You will also set the go-to-market strategy and get the MVP into the hands of early customers.
