OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE EXCEPTIONAL HEALTHCARE ACCESSIBLE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, FOR ANYONE.

American healthcare is broken. Patients sit on hold, get lost in communication loops, and struggle to reach the right care. Everyone has felt it, and no one should have to.

Assort Health is the fastest-growing AI agents company in healthcare, and we are making access to care effortless, fast, and human.

Our omnichannel agents handle calls, texts, and chats from end to end, integrating with EHR and PMS systems and the real-world preferences of every provider so patients reach the care they need without the wait.

Since launching in 2023, Assort has handled over 150M patient interactions across roughly 8,000 providers and cut average hold times from 11 minutes to 1. We resolve more than 98% of calls, schedule with 99% accuracy, and hold a 4.5 out of 5 rating across over 52K patient reviews. For the practices we serve that means real ROI, around $3.3M in added revenue per 100 physicians.

Our advantage compounds. We have built the largest specialty healthcare voice dataset in the world, spanning 62K care protocols and 1.6M decision pathways, and it makes every agent we ship sharper than the one before. And we are growing fast. In 2025 we were a team of 15. Today we are a 150-person company with a 40-plus person engineering team, and we are on track to double again this year.

Revenue is up 15x in the last 15 months. We have raised over $100M at a $700M valuation, backed by Lightspeed and First Round, and we were named to the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30, the only healthcare AI company on the list, and the Forbes Cloud 100 alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Ramp.
