What is MatchDay Health and how does it help healthcare professionals pivot?
2023, we did $8,000 in sales. 2024, we did $30,000. 2025, almost a million.
Wow.
What changed that
year? And
then this year, we'll do almost 2 million.
Rami Webby left family medicine residency with close to half a million dollars in student debt and no clear path forward. That experience eventually became the foundation for Match Day Health, a company that helps healthcare professionals move from clinical practice into non-clinical careers.
Our gross profit margin is around 60%. Okay. There's around 10 million healthcare professionals if you count all of the- In the US? Yeah.
That's so many people.
4 million nurses alone.
How much does it cost to acquire a customer? What's your customer acquisition cost?
Right now, it fluctuates between and .
Wow, that's a lot.
Yeah.
Now that you changed the business model, do you wish that you just bootstrapped it?
Because your cash flow... I do. Yeah. Here's the thing. So our business was going to fail. We were going to run out of money and we weren't going to be able to raise again. But...
Rami, welcome to How We Profit Wednesdays.
Thank you so much for having me.
Thanks for being here. I know you're based in Austin, so it was an easy trip out to the studio. And we're going to really be unpacking your business model today. I want to understand how Match Day Health profits. So to begin, let us know what Match Day is exactly like. What is the business today as it stands?
Yeah. So to put it simply, Match Day Health, we are a career transformation company for healthcare professionals. So we help healthcare professionals build second careers, maybe even third careers. And in a nutshell, that's what we do.
Okay, cool. So you basically are helping healthcare practitioners transition into more of like a corporate career.
Correct, yeah. So if you think about healthcare professionals, they start, you know, their degrees when they're 18 years old, get into professional school, and then... You know, they do that for a number of years, some five years, some 10 years. But what nobody thinks about is what do they do after that? Typically, healthcare profession careers have a ceiling and you enter that career and you kind of stay at the same range for as long as you're in that career. A lot of healthcare professionals, when they're, you know, maybe five years or 10 years in, start thinking about a second career.
Mm-hmm. And
so what do you do when you want a second career or you want to grow or you want to progress or maybe you're burned out? The typical path has been going back to school or getting an MBA or getting more certifications or just staying in your same job forever. And so what we've created is a path now or an off-ramp, so to speak, for healthcare professionals that doesn't require them to get additional schooling or certifications, but rather teaches them how to take their existing experience, repackage it, and enter into what we call non-clinical careers or just industry in general.
That's really cool. I actually come from a family of doctors. So my dad was a surgeon. He passed away. My three siblings are doctors. Two of them are actually no longer doctors. One of them is an entrepreneur who works on all different things, like has a peptide business, had a medical device company. And my second oldest brother, he's a pediatric neurologist. And now he works in pharmaceuticals and research. And he's like a research director helping like cure pediatric epilepsy. So he still gets to work on his dream of helping with like pediatric brain issues. And he just does it in a different way. And so it's really cool that you're actually helping other medical professionals do something similar.
Yeah, absolutely. And it's actually not that uncommon, especially nowadays with the way industry is growing, both on the pharma life science side of things, but as well as health tech as well. It's becoming much more commonplace for clinicians to have that role that maybe isn't fully clinical or patient facing. And, you know, sometimes they start hybrid or part time and then potentially becoming full time.
