Dan Wilson
Who
- Founder & former CEO of Moxe (12+ years), now Board Member
- Moxe = clinical data exchange across EHR systems — deeply relevant to DaisyAI's world
- Started at Epic as implementation lead, then founded Moxe out of Rock Health (2012)
- University of Michigan
- Based in Detroit/Madison area
- Working with Stochastic (Glenn's deep tech platform) on rev cycle automation — helped them win a WISeR contract with CMS
- Building appeal letter generator with Coral Health (provider-side appeals)
- Starting 3-month outside CIO contract at Summa Health (Feb 2026), brought in by General Catalyst/Percepta
- Abhinav Kurada's boss at Percepta (GC's healthcare services business)
Connection to Us
- Ongoing advisory relationship — most substantive advisor we have
- Has proposed a potential merger / co-founding opportunity (see Feb 11 call), evolving toward a "NewCo" FDE services concept
- Mutual connections: Justin Silver, Michael Silverstein
- Knows Kevin Coloton personally — had dinner with him ~2 years ago. From Curation Health days — calls him "a good competitor, smart, knows a lot of people"
- Knows Warburg — shared connection with Ross Hoffman (former Centene CMO)
- Thomas's close friend Abhinav Kurada works under Dan at Percepta — Dan is his boss. Insanely small world.
Background
- Moxe (2012–present): Built an interoperability network for clinical data exchange across EHR systems. Won Best in KLAS. Transitioned from CEO to Board Member (Nov 2024).
- Epic Systems (2007–2011): Implementation project coordinator / application lead
- Rock Health accelerator (2012)
- First contract was with Aetna — similar situation to ours (no real product yet, just a demo). Took 3 months to close, which he says is the fastest he's ever seen.
Why He Matters
- Deep health IT expertise — EHR interoperability, data exchange, payer-provider dynamics
- Built and scaled a healthcare startup. Knows the contracting, legal, and commercial realities cold.
- Connected to a team of 5 ex-Change Healthcare engineers who built payer backend infrastructure (shutting down in ~2 months — potential acqui-hire)
- Connected to an Epic UM product lead who wants to leave
- Has investor interest (GPV, $15M) but doesn't want to be CEO — looking for founder DNA to lead
- Genuinely invested in our success — "you've stuck with this longer than I thought you would, which is a testament to you"
- Inside Summa Health as outside CIO starting Feb 2026 — will have direct insight into how Percepta/GC's FDE model works in practice
- Knows Warburg — shared connection with Ross Hoffman. Potential fundraising or strategic path.
Interactions

Notes
- Dan is no longer just an advisor. The merger/NewCo conversation changes the relationship. Need to decide how seriously to pursue.
- The team of 5 could solve our biggest gap (legacy system integration) but come with baggage (quick-flip mentality, "know too much" cynicism). Shutting down in ~2 months — window to acquire.
- GPV offering $15M is real capital. Even $5M first tranche is 2.5x what we planned to raise.
- Dan's Premera advice is the most actionable commercial guidance we've gotten from anyone.
- He validated Kevin Coloton as a real competitor — take HURC seriously.
- His Summa/Percepta experience will be a goldmine of insight in 3 months. Stay tight.
