Top Tech Startups to Work For in 2026

Our technology-enabled community care approach helps us to bring evidence-based interventions and value-based care to Medicaid patients and providers. When we looked at the universe of effective interventions for improving outcomes in Medicaid, we saw very little overlap with what is covered by fee-for-service healthcare payment systems. In contrast, the Waymark team will earn payment based on how well we keep patients healthy – not based on how many patients visit our office each day, or how many tests and procedures we perform. Nothing simplifies a business model quite like this does. When we improve outcomes for our patients, our business works. When we do not, we fail. We are building an inclusive company. We design our products and our service delivery specifically for communities that have been historically excluded, because of language, race, poverty, substance use, or sexual identity.

We use a founder-friendly approach to improve the product and scale the team while maintaining the company’s original identity that drove its success. through knowledge, leadership, and independence we are determined to provide a full spectrum of services to help our brands reach their full potential.

Placemakr is a venture-backed startup on a mission to change the future of hospitality and home. With properties in three cities (and many more coming!) we operate a platform that allows buildings to blur the line between hotels and apartments. Our platform is an all-in-one solution which includes property operations, customer acquisitions, and the tech stack to operate with more flexibility than any other company in the market. Our tech-enabled buildings create a one-of-a-kind guest experience and tremendous value in the underlying real estate. Whether a guest or resident is with us for three days or three years, these are more than just spaces to spend the night—they are a place to call home. Our property team members focus on bringing our business to life at each of our buildings with a focus on execution, and resident and guest experience. Our non-property team members focus on supporting property execution and the evolution of the other areas of the platform. The non-property roles are remote-first with the option to work out of our DC or SF offices. We think in-person collaboration and bonding is extremely important, so our remote-first team members participate in quarterly in-person retreats with their teams at various locations across the U.S.

FourKites is reinventing the complex and labor intensive communication systems in the Logistics and Transportation Industry by providing a cost-effective, real-time and easy-to-use cloud based software solution. In the current but outdated system, shippers and freight brokers have no up-to-date information of the current location of their freight and arrival times. They rely on multiple phone calls to drivers and dispatchers to get accurate information. Systems like Email, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Fax are all initiated after the fact, making the decision process very reactive. You have now wasted time and effort for data that could be days old. FourKites solves this problem.
