Portrait of Kanav Jain

Product leader · hands-on builder · Chicago · open to relocation

I build new products around emerging technical capabilities.

Product leader, founder, and hands-on builder: biomedical engineering and molecular-biology research, then 14 years taking products from ambiguous problem to adoption and scale across clinical care, oncology, decision support, and emerging AI systems.

The identity layer I built for Doximity Dialer still carries more than 300,000 calls on an average workday across 250+ health systems — 9 years after I left.

I work best where the product category is still emerging — formulating the technical object that doesn't yet exist, building it far enough to test whether it works, and bringing senior product judgment to what to build next. I build independently when that's the fastest way to learn, and ship through cross-functional teams. See where I'd fit →

Primary builds: healthcare intelligence, agent permissions, and browser graphics.

More work
  • Whether Operating posture — turns macro and capital signals into weekly decisions and clear review triggers for founders.
  • Refract Change detection & provenance — a daily observation bot and 16,146 manifest-backed events beneath evidence sources.
  • Fast Harm, Slow Repair Agent error evaluation — a benchmark protocol measuring how far AI mistakes propagate through tools and what remains wrong after correction.

I originated Doximity Dialer, led R&D at CancerCompass, and co-founded Andwise. Andwise settled the user question and could not settle who would pay — a decision that lived in the architecture, not the roadmap. In 2024 I shut it down rather than build that company. Since then I have built the systems myself when that is the fastest way to learn.

The same three steps, each time:

  1. Enter before the roadmap exists
  2. Build an unproven idea far enough to learn whether it holds
  3. Bring senior judgment to what happens next
