Description
In this episode of The Underdog Physician Podcast, Allen Cooper, co-founder and CEO of Ancilla Ventures and Ready List, shares his journey from a consulting career at Accenture to building mission-driven health tech solutions. Motivated by a desire for deeper knowledge and meaningful impact, Allen transitioned through various roles before co-founding Ancilla Ventures, which initially focused on healthcare quality metrics and later pivoted to developing ReadyList—a mobile software platform that enhances hospital environmental services by digitizing room turnover and cleaning protocols. He discusses the measurable impact of ReadyList on infection control, operational efficiency, and staff training, while emphasizing servant leadership, team building, and thoughtful bootstrapping. Allen’s core mission is to empower and evolve people, especially under-recognized healthcare workers, by creating tools that enable them to work smarter, not harder.
