Fixing the whole broken system

INC. THIS MORNING Fixing the whole broken system Good morning, Carbon Health grew 39,734 percent over the past three years on its mission to solve one of the knottiest problems in America today: to fix not some specific aspect of health care, but the whole system.  Whether co-founder and CEO Eren Bali can pull off such a large trick is impossible to say. It's worth noting that he's tried before to reinvent an industry and ended up creating an innovative company worth billions. That would be Udemy, the world's largest online education platform, which Bali co-founded in 2010 and is widely expected to IPO this year. Carbon Health is also planning an IPO--possibly next year--and its most recent round of funding, in July, valued it at more than $3 billion. That number vaults Bali into the rare pantheon of founders who have created multiple multibillion-dollar businesses.  Read our story to learn how Bali became a double-unicorn founder, and how Carbon Health landed at No. 2 on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list.
