Automated revenue cycle management for dentists

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

We build AI agents that automate the revenue cycle for dental offices. Our software handles everything from eligibility checks and claims scrubbing to payment posting and denial management. This lets offices eliminate 1-2 full time employees and increase collections by 5-15% monthly.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we're both based and the best place to connect with healthcare tech and dental industry partners. Being here helps us recruit and iterate faster on the product.
