Building a Better Path to Credentialing

Empowering healthcare professionals by eliminating credentialing inefficiencies.

How We Got Here

A near-fatal wingsuiting accident in December 2023 placed founder, Dylan Avatar, in intensive care for six weeks. During his recovery, conversations with his healthcare providers revealed a universal challenge: the burden of medical credentialing.

Profoundly grateful for his second chance at life, Dylan recognized an opportunity to support the medical community. Combining his experience founding a Digital Credential Platform with his colleague Jeff Falconer’s 18-year tenure in Medical Software Sales, they created Credential Network.

Credential Network’s first mission is deeply personal:

Transform the credentialing process so healthcare providers can focus on what they do best – saving lives, just as they saved Dylan’s.

At Credential Network, we believe our work goes beyond building technology—we’re empowering professionals to do what they do best, without unnecessary friction. This mission is not just a statement—it’s our guiding north star. Every decision we make, every solution we create, and every interaction we have is aligned with this purpose.
