Early life and education
Raza comes from a family of healthcare providers, a background that has informed her focus on improving workflows for nurses. She attended Stanford University, where she studied Computer Science and Management Science & Engineering. During her time at Stanford, she was selected as a Mayfield Fellow, a distinction awarded to students demonstrating entrepreneurial potential and leadership.
Career
Raza co-founded Kabilah alongside Umar Nadeem. The company is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and was accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2024 cohort. Kabilah describes itself as the most trusted enterprise-grade AI platform built specifically for nursing workflows, with the goal of reducing nurse burnout, enhancing system efficiency, and enabling high-quality patient care.[2]
The Kabilah platform addresses several core challenges in inpatient nursing. Its features include a proprietary system for verbal handoffs during transitions of care — from emergency room admission through discharge — that notifies nurses of missing critical information and flags inaccuracies. The platform also replaces fragmented paper report sheets with a digital format, eliminating the need for nurses to manually rewrite patient details at the start of each shift. Additionally, Kabilah offers guided task management that generates context-aware to-do lists prioritized by urgency.
The company operates at the intersection of generative AI, digital health, and healthcare technology. In 2025, Kabilah was recognized at HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) 2025, where it was named among the winners in the organization's competition.
Raza has been featured in industry publications discussing her insights on building healthcare technology and has participated in community panels related to AI and healthcare innovation.
