Helping healthcare providers reduce administrative costs using AI

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an AI-powered workflow platform that helps Post-Acute and Long-Term Care providers streamline revenue management. Our product replaces error-prone spreadsheets and fragmented systems, uniting data and teams to increase admissions, optimize reimbursements, improve collections, and reduce administrative burdens in one platform.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate out of New York, NY, and after YC the company would remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where our team is rooted and where most of our customers and healthcare providers are. Staying here keeps us close to our users to understand and solve their operational challenges.
