About Angela Valenti
Clinician turned advocate helping founders build safter,
more trustworthy healthcare AI
I’m a nurse with experience spanning ER, ICU, flight, and complex case management. I help founders see where real patient harm can occur, why clinicians may not trust their product, and how to correct unsafe claims or narratives before they scale.
I focus on clinical truth, ethical grounding, and clarity. My work supports founders who want to avoid harm—not justify it
Clinical Experience That Informs Everything I Do
I’ve worked across some of the most demanding and unpredictable care environments. My background includes:
ER and ICU nursing
Flight nursing
Complex case management
Coordinating high-acuity patient transfers
Supporting vulnerable pediatric and adult populations
Navigating workflow and resource constraints
Troubleshooting clinical bottlenecks under pressure
I’ve seen exactly how workflows break, how trust erodes, and how harm happens when tools aren’t designed with real care environments in mind.
How I Work
My approach is direct, grounded, and centered on clinical reality. I evaluate:
patient safety risk
workflow vulnerabilities
clinician trust dynamics
equity gaps
ethical implications
narrative accuracy and honesty
I’m not here to hype a product. I’m here to protect patients and clinicians by helping founders correct narratives, claims, and assumptions that can lead to harm.
Why I Do This Work
Healthcare AI is evolving faster than clinical environments can absorb. My mission is to make sure innovation doesn’t outpace safety, ethics, or equity. I want founders to build tools that clinicians trust, patients feel supported by, and vulnerable populations don’t get lost in.
I believe technology should enhance care, not complicate it or harm the people it claims to help. My work ensures that truth, safety, and integrity stay at the center of innovation.
A Human Note
Outside of NEI, I’m a mom to two young kids, a dedicated dance parent, and a football fan who believes Saturdays and Sundays are for family and good games. I bring the same direct, human-centered energy into my work with founders—because healthcare is personal, and the stakes are real.
