Mujtaba (MJ) joined Doximity (NYSE:DOCS) when it was tiny (<25 ppl) and stayed about a decade until it was well over 1000 ppl (post-IPO).
His background is in CS/stats, with experience in engineering, product, and growth roles.
Most recently, before he "retired" in '23, he was Chief of Growth for Doximity's staffing businesses.
In 2022, he started a family office venture fund, Belal Badat Ventures, with Ahmed Belal, also an early Doximity employee, to invest in digital health startups.
In 2024, he co-founded DxAngels, an investment syndicate of Doximity alumni, physicians, and health tech leaders, to increase the capital they can infuse into the digital health ecosystem.
Selfishly, he invests in companies to have an excuse to meet (and try to help) the best and brightest founders at the forefront of the industry.
