Automates prior authorization, payer policy parsing, form auto-filling, and medical necessity checks. - **Pharmacy Intelligence Platform**: A suite that centralizes pharmacy operations, increases prior-authorization throughput, reduces denials, and helps pharmacists focus on patients instead of paperwork. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available - **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – $80.5 million (Series A as of April 2026) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Spark Capital, Transformation Capital, McKesson Ventures, Conviction, General Catalyst, Y Combinator - **Growth Signals**: - Grew from 4 to more than 45 health system partners in the past year (2025–2026) - Now serves 2 million patients annually - Reduces denials by over 30% and enables clinicians to serve twice as many patients - Customers include Yale New Haven Health, Ochsner Health, MetroHealth, UCI, Vanderbilt Health, Mount Sinai, Henry Ford Health, UCSF Health, UCLA Health ## Competitive Advantages - Deep, native integration with any EHR; the engine operates directly within the patient record. - Proprietary clinical agentic engine trained on medical reasoning, payer rules, and drug criteria – a high bar for regulatory and clinical accuracy. - Proven operational impact: 109% more prior-auth throughput per person, 23.4 minutes of every appeal handed back to pharmacists, and $300K+ annual labor cost savings cited by customers. - Already embedded in 50% of the top 20 U.S. health systems, creating a high switching cost. ## Strategic Focus - Expand health system footprint and deepen the platform connecting hospitals, payers, pharmacies, and patients. - Continue investing in reliability and trust required for healthcare deployment. - Scale the team and apply the Clinical Reasoning Engine proactively to identify patients who should start therapy and keep them on treatment. - Move beyond prior authorization into every process where clinical knowledge must be translated into action. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: High agency, ownership, and independence; engineers own projects from ideation to completion. Values include bias to action, practical innovation, and customer obsession (regularly visiting partner sites). - **Remote/Hybrid**: Remote-friendly (headquarters in San Francisco; team is distributed). - **Notable perks/engineering culture**: Fast-moving environment with ambitious product and GTM goals; opportunity to work on one of healthcare’s hardest problems using modern AI/ML; team size ~50 (as of early 2026) – still a growth-stage startup. ## Sources 1.
