Curative Cancelled a $600K/Year Salesforce Contract After Vibecoding a CRM in Two Months — and Cut Provider Contracting From $2,000 to $70
On the 20VC podcast (Business Insider confirmed the cancellation notice with a Curative spokesperson on July 21), health insurer CEO Fred Turner said Curative terminated a $600,000/year Salesforce CRM contract after building an internal replacement with AI-assisted coding in about two months, targets cutting ~80% of total SaaS spend this year, and has moved visualization work off Google Looker onto Snowflake directly. Its agent 'Gwen' negotiates provider contracts for ~$70 each versus $1,500–$2,000 with human teams, enabling 10x the contract volume. The honest caveat Turner himself supplies: Curative still uses Slack, and its Anthropic bill went from tens of thousands to millions per month — the software spend moved to a model vendor, it did not disappear.
