98point6 CEO & Co-Founder: Robbie Cape


Listen Later

Robbie was born & raised in Montreal, Canada and had an early fascination with the idea of being an open-heart surgeon.  His interests would then shift to computer programming after receiving a gift from "Uncle Ronnie." Robbie's father ran a family business, and throughout Robbie's childhood, he would listen to his father openly discuss business ordeals and ideas at the dinner table. 

Robbie would go on to attend Princeton University and get a degree in engineering & management systems before beginning his career at Microsoft. He would work for Microsoft for 12 years and in the podcast, he discusses his biggest career failure that resulted in humiliation followed by a strong bounce-back. 

After a 12-year-run with Microsoft, Robbie decided to make the leap and start his own business, something he always dreamed of doing. The sense of urgency was sprouted from the sickness and death of an old friend that he discusses in the podcast as well; A truly emotionally intense time for him.  

After starting Cozi Group, Inc. and selling it, he went on to start 98point6; a technology company that facilitates on-demand primary care through an application on a mobile phone. It's sort of like the "Uber" of doctors, so if you need a doctor, you just open the app! Today, 98point6 has raised almost $90M and is revolutionizing the way primary care is handled.
