Leadership Comments

"Skin is the largest and most cancer-prone organ, and somehow it's the one we track the least. There are multiple modalities to image our internal organs, but skin is still left to a doctor's memory," said Jonathan Benassaya, co-founder and CEO of SkinBit.

"The best founders are those who have lived the problem and can't let it go," said Logan Green, co-founder of Lyft and SkinBit board member. "Jonathan's urgency about this is personal, and it shows in how fast the clinical team came together around him."
