Judy Faulkner is 82 years old. She’s worth $7.8 billion. And she’s never cashed a single share of her company for herself.
In 1979, Faulkner started a company called Human Services Computing from a basement in Madison, Wisconsin. She had $70,000 from friends and family, two part-time employees, and a computer the size of a washer-dryer.
She wrote the original code herself.
Her goal was simple: create software that could track patient medical records – and keep people from falling through the cracks of a fragmented healthcare system.
That basement startup became Epic Systems. Today, Epic holds the medical records of more than 325 million patients and serves roughly half of all hospital beds in the United States. The company generates $5.7 billion in annual revenue.

In 2010, he founded DeepMind, as an AI startup, to “solve intelligence” and then use intelligence “to solve everything else.” Since its acquisition by Google, in 2014, it’s remained an independent entity based in London, known for its impressive firsts: creating AlphaGo that defeated several world Go champions, reducing the energy used to cool Google’s data centers by 40%, partnering with the NHS to improve medical services and identify the onset of degenerative eye conditions. Plus, AlphaFold, which predicted the 3D structure of a protein from its 1D amino acid sequence. Later, DeepMind created AlphaFold2 to fold all 200 million proteins known to science, and made the system and these structures open, freely available for anyone to use. Already, the impact for pharma is faster drug target identification and improved understanding of disease mechanisms.
