What HealthSpark does

HealthSpark empowers physical therapists (PTs) to start, run, and grow their own independent practices. Our AI-native “business-in-a-box” takes care of the administrative work - credentialing, insurance billing, patient onboarding, documentation, and scheduling - so PTs can focus on patient care, not paperwork.

Help PTs start and run independent clinics

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

We're building an AI-native platform that handles all the business operations physical therapists face when starting and running their own practice. It covers credentialing, insurance billing, patient onboarding, documentation, and scheduling so PTs can focus on care instead of admin.

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

We live in San Francisco, and after YC, the company will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent and network we need to build a complex healthcare product and to connect with early customers and partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real HealthSpark YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private.
