Solution
RaaS 99:
A community of
support and action
RaaS 99 is a first-in-its-class predictive AI system that helps patients navigate their treatment and recovery, provides guided assistance and support, and coordinates daily life.
- Care Registry/Circle of Care: Finally, an intelligent way to organize help. Family and friends volunteer to assist, share their availability, and are precisely matched with tasks needed, giving patients what they need when needed, with minimal stress or fuss.
- Smart Guide & Super Assistant: Brigit knows what the patient needs, even before they need it. Bridgit streamlines, simplifies, and coordinates everything from following the doctors' treatment plans to scheduling medical and life tasks.
- Recovery Store & Fund: Patients create a help registry and can crowd-raise a Recovery Fund. Friends and family can sponsor assistance services, such as housekeeping, transportation, babysitting, and meals.
Collaborative & community-driven
Proprietary, first in its class predictive system. While there are websites and organizations with useful cancer-related information, there are no options that give every patient a personal recovery roadmap and a smart virtual assistant like Bridgit in the market today. Our proven IP and technology use real-time AI and insights to build upon the wisdom of the community to better help and guide cancer patients accurately and find their best path through recovery.
Similar to Waze that leverages real-time community insights to help guide drivers as they get from point A to point B with ease, our RaaS 99 platform for cancer patients help our users leverage the best practices and knowledge of the community to help solve the frustrations in the 99% of the recovery journey that is away from the clinic.
No one’s journey is exactly the same. Our platform leverages continuous semantic learning to help each patient discover the most seamless and beneficial roadmap unique to their recovery path. This is a big reason our partners are so excited to be on this journey with us.

Customers
Breast cancer first
Methodically adding more cancer types
Breast cancer
- Accounts for approximately 18% of all cancer occurrence.
- Is complex and often requires all four treatment types: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and genetic/precision medicine.
- Provides a comprehensive baseline for adding more cancers.
Additional cancers & language support
We will quickly add gynecological cancers and male breast cancer. From there, urological cancers (prostate, bladder, testicular). We then add support for GI cancers (colon, pancreas, liver). These three cancer families account for over 60% of all cancer diagnoses. We will continue to expand and add cancer types, including lung, blood, bone, and pediatric. Our goal is to leave no cancer patient behind.
Bridgit is capable of speaking 24 languages. We will add Spanish soon after launch, and continue to add languages to meet our customers' needs.
Business model
Transaction- and service fee-based revenue model
—
Year 1: Recovery Marketplace
We have a market for suppliers of goods and services our customers need. Much like the Amazon model, we match what our customers need to a supplier of that need. Our revenue comes from the supply-side, so every dollar directed to a patient’s need goes toward fulfilling that need.
- We find, match, and complete transactions
- We charge for virtual shelf space and completed transactions
—
Year 2+: Marketplace, Remote Monitoring, Surveillance, Drug Trials & Precision Medicine
By the end of year 2 we will add reoccurring revenue streams.
- Clinical reporting
Enabling patient health data to be reported for reimbursement by doctors, practices and clinics. We capture 30% of the monthly revenue as a fee for compiling, storing and providing the information for the reports. - Surveillance
17 million people are under active cancer surveillance. They have made it through their treatments and recovery but must submit to ongoing monitoring and testing 5+ years. - Drug trials & precision medicine
Pharmaceutical companies and cancer centers who want to validate the efficacy of their cancer treatment protocols can use our platform to create trials. Leveraging Bridgit's ability to collect data through quick and consistent interactions, drug companies can derive rich insights on how their treatments affect short and long term outcomes of our customers.

Note: FY1, we will be teaching Bridgit breast cancer and connecting the platform parts. The small number of users in FY1 are volunteer breast cancer patients from diverse backgrounds who will be testing and teaching Bridget.
Market
10% year-over-year increase in cancer diagnoses
Until there's a cure, there's Bridgit
A thoughtful approach to market expansion
We will methodically take on the cancer families that have the highest occurrence rate and where we can have significant market penetration quickly. Our goal is to deliver relief to as many people as we can as soon and safely as we can.
Competition
Fragmented vs. holistic
Juggle multiple apps & accounts? Or have a single, integrated platform that comes with an expert guide?
By bringing together a fragmented experience into one intelligently orchestrated platform, we'll allow those who could be our competitors to become our partners instead—so we can help our customers together.
Vision
Helping people
live their best lives
Our mission is to change recovery for good. We pledge to:
- Remove friction and confusion during the 99% of care recovery that happens away from the clinic.
- Address and support the mind, body, and soul during recovery.
- Deliver recovery relief as seamlessly as possible and at scale.
- Make managing cancer recovery easier and less stressful, so people can focus on healing.
Impact
A Public Benefit Company
We stand for empowering recovery for people with complex care needs through access, education, community engagement and behavioral health.
We believe that good business must equal benefit to all. That's why we chose to become a Public Benefit Company and deeply integrate our social debt into every business and technology design.
We chose a business model that can bring financial equity and put one dollar to work for every dollar we are entrusted with. We ensure every penny counts.
We choose to give every person 100% control of their data, safeguarded in whatever form they wish. And we promise to safely share it only with those they choose.
Investors
This is personal!
Everyone is investing to make an individual statement, and to champion the personal nature of our cause. They understand the undue burden and stress that comes with a cancer diagnosis and want to help empower cancer patients, their family and friends with tools to make the journey less stressful and fearful. Noteworthy examples are:
- Hispanic woman representing and serving minority women challenged by access to care.
- An internationally known breast reconstruction surgeon, whose mission is to bring equity and shared decision making to every woman on the planet.
- An amazing survivor, inventor and mentor who has set aside her early retirement to help us conquer cancer.
- Two couples whose mission is better, safer care for the working person.
Founders
We've been here before
Our similar paths have led us to partner and design RaaS 99's breakthrough cancer platform.
Andy Liwen, Founder
Knowledge Engine; Platform Design & Test
Andy Liwen engaged with the largest community oncology practice in the U.S. for two years (2019-2020 ) to design a solution to their Patient Navigation problems. To achieve those goals with cutting edge technology, a threat detection, data fusion engine with semantic reasoning was created to model and automate patient navigation. Key learnings and insights from that relationship form and project the core of the RaaS 99 knowledge engine.
Jeanne Teshler & Yuri Teshler, Founders
Complex Care Validation; Social and Marketplace IP
Jeanne and Yuri Teshler entered a five-year strategic partnership with a leading North Carolina health system resulting in a design, test, and launch of a digital chronic care management platform. A pending patent, along with key IP in complex care management, customer retention, social integration, and marketplace design are the basis for RaaS 99's AI automation, design, and growth models.
Other Founders' highlights
60 combined years’ experience and top industry expertise in consumer and technology companies resulting in over $6 billion revenue for X86 and ARM-based processor chips; $50 million new revenue from category creation in consumer and luxury goods.
Built, delivered, and proven IP with disease management, consumer engagement, program retention, and data fusion models.
Created software to orchestrate infrastructure for pop-up connected medical response centers for DHS and FEMA deployed at disaster sites.
First in market architecture, award-winning groundbreaking software in Artificial Intelligence, data fusion, threat detection, and data security.
All three of us have had family members touched by cancer. We have stood by helplessly as we tried to figure out what we could do to ease our loved one's burdens. We have cheered them on and celebrated recovery. We have watched cancer take the upper hand, and mourned untimely death.
We can think of no better way to honor their courage and their memories than to combine our knowledge in health care, technology, and human behavior with our passion for building new technologies for good.
We'd be honored to have you join our mission to use technology to help people live their best lives.
