Thalamus was established in December 2013. Based in Santa Clara, CA, in the heart of Silicon Valley, the company also has a regional office in Nashville, TN, the healthcare capital of the US.

The organization was founded by a former combined pediatrics/anesthesiology resident and an anesthesiology residency Program Director (and now Associate DIO). The company was created through a grassroots collaboration of program directors, program coordinators, GME administrators and applicants/medical students to address the inefficiencies in the residency and fellowship interview management process around a particularly noteworthy recruitment season interrupted by Hurricane Sandy.

Team Thalamus is composed of a group of innovative entrepreneurs, seasoned academics and experienced technologists, many of whom have spent the majority of their careers in Graduate Medical Education and are passionate about building recruitment processes that are equitable, diverse and inclusive.

In January 2019, the company graduated from Jason Calacanis’ Launch Accelerator as the top company in the 11th cohort. In July 2019, Thalamus closed its seed round led by Fresco Capital, 37 Angels , Kapor Capital and the Launch Syndicate.

Since that time we’ve been building and scaling our services to include Thalamus Core, Itinerary Wizard, Thalamus’ Custom Video Platform and Cortex. We are excited about what the future holds.
