Coffee with a Founder Podcast: Drew Mercer of PayGround

Written By Lewis & Clark

The recent "Coffee with a Founder" podcast features Drew Mercer, co-founder and CEO of LACV portfolio company PayGround.

The discussion sheds light on the personal experience — a combination of a cancer diagnosis and the birth of a child — that made the critical need for a simplified medical payments system personal.

Mercer succinctly envisioned this platform as a "Venmo for healthcare." Since its launch in 2020, PayGround has rapidly scaled to partner with over 3,000 healthcare facilities nationwide, successfully reducing administrative burdens for providers and streamlining the patient billing experience.

This growth, driven by a commitment to serving all levels of healthcare, validates the market demand for a universal payment platform and underscores PayGround's significant role in modernizing the financial infrastructure of the healthcare industry.
