Founding Data Scientist

Berry Streetis a business-in-a-box platform enabling registered dietitians to start and scale private practices that accept health insurance. We provide all of the software needed to run a thriving practice + administrative services like insurance contracting, eligibility verification, customer support, claims billing, and even patient acquisition.

We're creating game-changing technology to build America's largest dietitian network and ensure that anyone can access the help they need.
