Parachute builds infrastructure for hospitals to monitor and deploy clinical AI safely. Its platform helps health systems evaluate, deploy, and monitor AI tools through vendor discovery, benchmarking, real-time observability, and immutable audit trails for regulatory compliance. The company was co-founded by Aria Vikram, a former NLP researcher at Columbia who deployed AI chatbots for doctors at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Tony Yamin, who previously built machine-learning infrastructure for the US Department of Defense at Booz Allen. Parachute is based in New York City and went through Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch.
