About leapcure
Impactful medical breakthroughs for everyone, with everyone.
Leapcure is a global team of thought leaders advancing research through meaningful patient connections.
With innovative technology & empathetic conversations, our impact is limitless.
Empowering the patient voice with a deeper understanding because of our core values.
Leapcure is a pursuit of improving the quality of life for many people. It's focal in our lives. Our contribution to advocacy extends beyond the workplace. The speed of our progress can be measured in healthy heartbeats. We don't take speed for granted.
Recognize people have different backgrounds, life experiences, roles and perspectives. Be a facilitator of feedback and ideation. Build lasting chemistry with partners. Accept and adapt to realities to get the most out of the collective team.
This is beyond just a job. It's a cause and a journey. It's also a living, growing experience. At times, we all have to work on low complexity challenges that are outside of our personal comfort zones.
Tell us what you don't want to have to tell us. Do not be afraid of communicating failures. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be afraid to ask for clarity. Only when we communicate challenges clearly, will necessary learnings happen.
To continuously drive for results we need to seek understanding from a place of empathy and curiosity. Whether it's patients, community leadership, study teams, sponsors or fellow Leapcure teammates, seeking a better understanding of people's starting points and their "why" illuminates opportunities to make a difference at a human level.
Since Leap Day 2016, we've partnered with over 17,000 Patient Advocacy Groups across 49 different countries... and counting.
After working in clinical research technology, Zach and the founding team saw how powerful advocacy engagement in clinical trials could be. Advocacy groups were often underutilized, yet when their voices were included, their insights helped research better meet patient needs and accelerate outcomes.
This inspired us to build Leapcure empowering advocacy groups with technology to maximize their impact. By listening to patients, study teams, physicians, and sponsors, we help align innovation with what matters most to patients and improve research outcomes.

Los Angeles, CA, USAIn our eyes, we believe actions speak louder than words. And for that reason, we're just as much against performative activism as we are against ignoring injustices in research.
We're committed to identifying issues related to inclusivity. As a team, we save space for honest discussions and do the work needed to identify any blind spots.
