Offcall is a digital platform launched in 2024 to address career and financial challenges for physicians in the United States, aiming to reduce burnout by improving their wealth and well-being. The company was co-founded by CEO Jake Horowitz and Dr. Graham Walker, a practicing emergency medicine physician. Horowitz, a Stanford University graduate, previously co-founded the digital media company Mic and worked as a consultant for healthcare startups, where he observed the struggles of frontline workers. Dr. Walker, also a Stanford alumnus, has 16 years of experience in emergency medicine and previously created the medical tools MDCalc and theNNT. He was motivated to start Offcall due to rising physician burnout, dissatisfaction, and loss of autonomy.
The company is headquartered in San Francisco and secured $2 million in a seed funding round in December 2024. Investors include Bloomberg Beta, Roar Ventures, and 26 practicing physicians. Offcall's business model provides physicians with free access to a core set of tools while offering a premium subscription, Offcall+, for expanded features. The platform provides a verified database of job and compensation data, including details on salary, benefits, patient volume, and administrative culture, to increase transparency and help doctors negotiate fair compensation. It also offers resources on financial topics tailored to physicians, such as student debt management and retirement planning. A key feature is a digital community, likened to a "physicians' lounge," for connection, collaboration, and support among medical professionals.
Initially, the platform is focusing on specialties with high rates of burnout like Primary Care, Emergency Medicine, and Pediatrics. Future plans involve adding more advanced career-navigation tools to help users compare employment options and find opportunities tailored to their preferences.
