SAN FRANCISCO, May 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Three months ago Michael Lapinski, Richard Luck, and Nick Soman realized US healthcare needs a nervous system and decided to build Decent. They began to hire a world class team including Molly Moore, Suzanne Scharlock, Andy Skiba, and Sean Leonard. They are delighted to announce today that they've raised $8MM from an incredible roster of investors across the VC, crypto, and healthcare landscape to fund the beginning of their journey.

Decent will use crypto and blockchain technology to better serve its members. They are hiring developers, product folks, and designers in San Francisco and Seattle. They are looking for the right partners to join their journey to a 2019 launch that may include a token launch later this year. They hope to help deliver on the promise of the decentralized future and advance the public narrative around crypto beyond speculation to real world value.
