Nick founded Decent back in 2018. As he likes to playfully say he’s “the only member of his family who didn’t go into medicine.” Nick has a rare disorder that’s resulted in complete paralysis twice in his life - you learn a lot about the American medical system when your literal life depends on it.
Nick’s taken his personal history, mixed with his professional past as a repeat founder to launch his most ambitious company yet - one shooting to fix health insurance in America.

Richard had co-founded Nick’s previous start up with him and Nick wasted no time pulling him into Decent from Amazon where he was managing a development team.
Richard feels strongly that the consumer hasn’t been considered for a long time in American healthcare and he’s excited to reconstruct something that truly works for the people actually using it.
