Kareo CEO and leadership

Dan Rodrigues is the founder and CEO of Kareo. He founded the company in 2004 with a vision of simplifying medical offices with web-based medical billing software that replaces the expensive and complex medical billing and practice management systems doctors have today. Under Dan's leadership, Kareo has since created the most user-friendly, easy-to-buy, and easy-to-setup software on the market offering immediate benefits with reduced risks and costs. Prior to launching Kareo, Dan started creating technology for the healthcare industry in 2001 as a co-founder and managing partner of Skematix, a software consulting firm based in Southern California. Among the various projects he led, Dan designed and built a web-based medical billing software and healthcare information system for a national medical billing company. During his tenure at Skematix, Dan also designed an online auction service for industrial equipment, a self-service Internet kiosk for airports, and an online music service. In the late 1990's, Dan was the co-founder and CEO of Scour, a very popular search engine for finding music and video files online used by more than 10 million consumers. Scour played a transformational role in driving the music and entertainment industries towards the digital distribution of their content over the Internet. With Scour, Dan raised $12.5 million in venture capital financing from Michael Ovitz, Ron Burkle, and Ron Conway, lead a 70-person organization, designed the Scour Exchange peer-to-peer software downloaded by more than 7 million registered users, developed other patented technologies, and sold the company in 2000. Dan began his career as a software developer for RealNetworks and Visio. With RealNetworks, Dan developed the first ad-insertion and pay-per-view technologies for streaming music and video on the Internet. With Visio, Dan developed Internet software enabling users to find and download shapes directly into Visio, the award-winning business diagramming software that was later acquired by Microsoft in 1999 and integrated with the Microsoft Office suite of business productivity software.

Led the exit readiness and execution for four successful M&A events of SaaS companies to top tier private equity firms and strategics. In the last exit, sold Avetta for over $500 million after transforming the financial profile of the company and increasing the valuation by over 500%.My career experience includes 18+ years in C-level positions with a broad range of hands-on operational roles beyond traditional CFO roles, including operations, M&A, strategy, legislative, legal, & HR functions. Additionally, I served as strategic thought partner to 5 different entrepreneurial CEOs and 4 different VC and private equity boards.After three CFOs in four years, I was brought on board at Avetta to resolve foundational system, process, and people issues in order to position it for scalable growth and a sell-side exit. To that end, I transformed the resource allocation strategy, putting the company on a long-term path of sustained profitability while maximizing earnings under Rule of 40; built strategic partnerships; established a buy-side M&A team and strategy; rebuilt the finance, accounting, and billing operations teams; restructured HR; and drove M&A exit readiness for a sell-side transaction that achieved a record valuation in a sale to two top-tier private equity firms. My time at The Retail Equation (TRE) included the tough economic conditions of the recession, requiring prudent fiscal planning and management to ensure TRE remained profitable. For more than 11 years, I advised the CEO and Board, serving as the #2 executive while driving over 10x enterprise value growth through two M&A exits to PE firms. Those growth initiatives included pricing, sales contract negotiations, strategic partnerships, new product development, debt and equity financing, M&A, and legislative strategies.Previous experience includes leading a key international JV for Qualcomm, driving the IPO process for a $75M offering at SkyDesk, as well as public accounting positions with Arthur Andersen.
