Adam Stansell, CEO and Founder of Axle Health, bringing operational excellence to home health

Prepare for the hard reality of healthcare entrepreneurship; love what you're building because the day-to-day effort is demanding, and sustained enthusiasm is essential.
Adam Stansell, CEO and Founder of Axle Health, bringing operational excellence to home health

Adam Stansell, CEO and Founder of Axle Health, bringing operational excellence to home health
Q: What drew you to starting a company after experiences at Uber and Motive?
Autonomy and the chance to build something from scratch drew him in, especially after seeing how distributed problem solving and building new markets at UberEats inspired him to pursue a startup in healthcare logistics.
Adam Stansell, CEO and Founder of Axle Health, bringing operational excellence to home health
Q: What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Adam wanted to be a baseball player initially, then pivoted to other interests before discovering tech at Uber, which set him on a path toward building Axle.
Lessons from Ron Alfa, Co-Founder and CEO of Noetik, on Bringing AI-Native Precision Oncology to Every Cancer Patient
Q: Could you explain Noetik's focus on building biology foundation models and how your data strategy supports that goal?
Noetik emphasizes generating data fit for purpose—using multimodal, human-derived data (pathology, transcriptomics, spatial context) to train foundation models with scalable architectures. The data is chosen to reflect human biology and clinical realities, enabling models to reason about complex patient states and drug responses. The team iterated on data types, founding principles, and model architectures, learning that transcriptomics-driven, cell-centered representations offered interpretability and power for discovery and clinical decision support.
