A 700+ person community (350+ in the WhatsApp)
June '24 update: Just launched a managed WhatsApp Community w/ Sub-Groups that meetup on their own
We meet once a month at a bar, or a company's office. We're always open to new Sponsor Partners if you/your company is interested just email peppernyc1@gmail.com
Say goodbye to endless Slacks. Find Your Tribe with smaller, curated Sub-Groups that are volunteer run and led (e.g., "PMs in BK"). They meetup 1x/quarter at minimum.
Keep up with the community's happenings (including the latest Sub-Groups), find out about other NYC health-tech events and see highlights of other Pepper Members.
Rohan Siddhanti started this because he wanted to jumpstart the NYC healthcare community, specifically meeting up in person again. Like the "old days" when ZocDoc and Flatiron threw Ted Talks and parties.
Breakdown is roughly 36% Founders, 22% Investors and 42% Operators - all folks who live in NYC and have years of healthcare services experience. Roughly 40% Women and 60% Men.
Apply to join as a Member. If you want to sponsor an event, please email peppernyc1@gmail.com. We host monthly events with ~50 people attending per event and usually use your space or a bar.
Yes it's currently free. Summer '24: We've launched a managed WhatsApp community that will be free until Thanksgiving. If we've built something useful, we might start charging a couple bucks per month.

He began his career building Health Insurance Exchanges for States, then transitioned to a healthcare data startup ("Mana", acquired by Comcast); after a Wharton MBA he spent two years in healthcare management consulting at Oliver Wyman, then joined Bright Health (NYSE: BHG) as the Director of BD/Partnerships. Outside of work and Pepper, he loves being with his wife Rooshy, Founder and CEO of AAVRANI, the Indian-inspired beauty brand.
