Meet the Founder

I built ProcedureRadar because nobody should have to guess what a medical procedure costs.

Hospital prices are public by law. But they are buried in thousands of massive, inconsistently formatted files that no patient can read. ProcedureRadar is the translation layer. We parse the nightmare so you do not have to.

ProcedureRadar in one paragraph

ProcedureRadar is built by Kevin Monangai, who comes from the NFL, corporate finance, and tech. We collect and normalize hospital pricing data published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule (45 CFR Part 180), covering roughly 3,500 hospitals across the top 100 US metros, with published prices from more than 2,000 of them, and make it usable.

The Origin Story

2011 - 2015

Built on the field at Villanova

I played running back at Villanova University, where I learned that preparation, film study, and relentless execution separate the good from the great. Football teaches you to read complex systems fast and find the gap nobody else sees.

That instinct, reading chaos and finding a path through it, is exactly what ProcedureRadar does with healthcare pricing data.

From the field to the sideline

I signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as a running back in 2015, then competed for a roster spot with the Minnesota Vikings. Two NFL organizations, two training camps, two systems to learn under pressure. The speed of professional football teaches you to process complexity fast and execute without hesitation.

After my playing career, I transitioned to coaching. As an Offensive Assistant Coach for the New York Giants, I broke down film, built opponent scouting reports, and translated analytics into weekly game plans. I coordinated with video and analytics teams on situational cut-ups: red zone, third down, two-minute drill.

The NFL taught me two things that built ProcedureRadar: how to read complex systems under pressure, and how broken healthcare billing is. Athletes deal with injuries, surgeries, and medical bills constantly. Even with top-tier insurance, nobody could tell you what anything actually cost.

2020 - Present

From finance to tech

After football, I moved into corporate finance. I spent years analyzing spreadsheets, building financial models, and learning how data drives decisions. Then I transitioned to tech, building products that solve real problems.

I founded RawRecruit, a sports recruiting platform, and LocalLayer AI, an AI consultancy. Both gave me the technical foundation and product intuition that ProcedureRadar is built on.

Building, always.

2026 - Present

Then my family needed a procedure

When someone in my family needed a medical procedure, I did what anyone would do: I tried to find out how much it would cost. I could not get a straight answer.

The hospital could not tell me. My insurance gave me a range so wide it was meaningless. I spent hours on the phone. I am someone who reads financial statements for a living, and I could not figure out what a common procedure would cost at a hospital 20 minutes from my house.

Then I discovered that hospitals are legally required to publish their prices. The data existed. It was just buried in files designed to be unreadable. ProcedureRadar was born that day.

Hospital prices are public by law. ProcedureRadar makes them readable.
