Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative

Quantum Leap was co-founded by world renowned oncologist and professor Dr. Laura Esserman as a collaboration between medical researchers at University of California, San Francisco and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. The organization was founded on the belief that good ideas and research projects in a University setting were often “orphaned” at the end of a research project. These efforts were frequently left with no funds or organizational structure to adequately engage clinical providers and ultimately benefit patient care. Quantum Leap was created to change that dynamic.

Modeled after Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurial culture with an added social value objective, our social-entrepreneurial model embodies:

• identifying clinical and research efforts with a potential for high impact,
• forming organizations and management teams to grow proven ideas into products,
• creating strategic partnerships committed to developing high-value healthcare services and products, and
• securing funding in stages as efforts mature.

Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative seeks to disrupt the status quo of healthcare delivery so that the right care can be delivered the right patient in record time.
