Our Team

We're building Golden Thread because we believe therapy documentation should support clinical care, not get in the way.

Founders

Kate Swanson

Co-Founder

Kate brings deep expertise in healthcare technology and clinical workflows. Her vision for Golden Thread stems from understanding the real challenges therapists face in documentation and the need for tools that augment rather than replace clinical judgment.

Dustin Hofer

Co-Founder

A former mariner with extensive experience captaining vessels, Dustin brings a unique perspective on leadership and ownership to software development. Drawing from principles like "Turn the Ship Around," he understands that empowering teams and creating systems that enable ownership leads to exceptional outcomes—whether navigating the open sea or building platforms that therapists trust.

Gavin Hofer

Co-Founder

Gavin combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of how software can meaningfully impact healthcare delivery. His focus on building tools that respect clinical expertise while dramatically improving efficiency drives Golden Thread's development.
