Early Life
Daniel Nadler was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to parents who were immigrants from Poland and Romania. He pursued a diverse education at Harvard University, earning a Ph.D. with a thesis on the pricing of credit derivatives while also studying poetry under Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Jorie Graham.
Rise to Success
In 2013, Nadler co-founded Kensho Technologies, an AI company that developed machine-learning systems for financial analysis, later acquired by S&P Global for $550 million in 2018. In 2021, Nadler founded OpenEvidence, an AI company whose medical search engine is used by doctors for clinical decision support. OpenEvidence has rapidly grown, with over 430,000 physicians using it, and is adding new users at a rate of 65,000 per month. OpenEvidence secured $210 million in Series B funding, which propelled its valuation to $3.5 billion.
Key Business Strategies
OpenEvidence's strategy focuses on providing a free, high-quality tool directly to clinicians. The company earns revenue through an advertising model, partnering with pharmaceutical companies. OpenEvidence has also partnered with the New England Journal of Medicine, which grants it permission to use all of the journal's findings from 1990 onwards.
Philanthropy
While specific details of his philanthropy are not available, Nadler's commitment to the arts is evident through his role on the board of directors of the Academy of American Poets.
