CEO
Pearl
Tanz founded Pearl in 2019 as a diagnostics platform for the dental industry. The company’s Second Opinion platform dedicated to reading dental X-rays and identifying cavities and other maladies, was the first product of its kind to be cleared by the FDA in 2022. Last summer, Pearl announced it raised $58 million, a sum that was characterized at the time as the largest raise in dental artificial intelligence. With the fundraise, Bloomberg valued the company at $400 million. Pearl’s diagnostic software is now used in dental facilities in more than 120 countries. Tanz previously founded and became chief executive of GumGum, an ad tech firm. In 2019, Pearl was spun out of GumGum.
