Dennis Sponer is a thought leader in the legal, health-tech, biotech, pharmaceutical, and startup worlds. Sponer co-founded ScripNet, a uniquely designed Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) company, in 1997. After serving as in-house counsel for one of Las Vegas’ largest healthcare conglomerates, he devised ScripNet as a payor-based technological solution to the pharmaceutical payment and remittance challenge. His latest venture, HSARx, was a consumer-facing pharmacy benefit manager focused on the owners of health savings accounts. He sold HSARx to SwiftScript in October of 2023.
Sponer obtained his Juris Doctorate from Brigham Young University and his Master of Laws in Taxation (L.L.M.) from the University of San Diego. After selling ScripNet, he returned to school to earn his TRIUM MBA, the program jointly administered by New York University's Stern School of Business, the London School of Economics, and HEC Paris.
Sponer is licensed as an attorney in California and Nevada and a senior advisor to Connected-Capital, a London-based UK FCA-regulated advisory firm. Through his consultancy, SRX Advisors, he advises and provides legal counsel to various investors, venture capital firms, startups, biotech, healthcare technology, and artificial intelligence firms.
