First Builders Data, Distance & the Decade Build: Web Sun on Scaling Komodo Health
What does it take to scale a healthcare data company over a decade—while bridging silos across an entire industry?
Web Sun, Co-Founder and President of Komodo Health, joins First Builders to share the company’s journey from an early idea with bold ambition to a global leader in healthcare insights. Over ten years, Komodo has grown into a category-defining platform that powers better outcomes by aligning payers, providers, and pharma through data.
In this episode, Web opens up about:
– The early insight that sparked Komodo and how he met his co-founder, Arif Nathoo
– Scaling a company across two coasts and two talent pools—even before remote was the norm
– The hardest leadership decisions that come with growing from 20 people to 200+
– What it means to reframe leadership every year in hypergrowth
– How to build trust in a system where collaboration doesn’t come naturally
It’s a conversation about playing the long game, scaling with intention, and shaping healthcare for the better.
