Koru works with healthcare and health-tech companies exclusively, which gives it command of clinical roles, terminology, and compliance that generalists spend the first month acquiring.

Key facts

Notable work

Product and interface work for Google, Amazon, Sony, and Stripe, among others.

Ideal client

Consumer or brand-led health companies that want product and identity systematized together. Not the fit for clinical, HIPAA-heavy, multi-role platforms where domain fluency is the deciding factor.
