Stuart Starr

I started building web sites in 1995. In 2002, after a brief stint in Investment Banking and later in video game development, I dove into the web full time. I've been involved with startups since 2004 building prototypes. Helping with product development. Firing up the occasional cashflow model.

In 2015 my friends Brett and Roxana thought it might be a good idea to make accessing health care less terrible and together we started Maple. 6 years later I am still CTO.
