Founded in 2021 by Anshul Rathi, Certify isn’t solving a problem, it’s tearing down a broken system and replacing it with an infrastructure layer the industry should’ve built decades ago. Rathi cut his teeth at Oscar Health, where he wasn’t just leading network ops, he was the network ops. One man, 40,000 providers, 100+ hospitals, and a war chest of battle scars from healthcare’s credentialing chaos. They used to call him the “one-man credentialing army,” and not as a joke. That’s the guy rebuilding the rails for healthcare’s provider data.
Now, backed by Transformation Capital (led by Scott Rosen, who knows a thing or two about fixing broken healthcare models), along with returning believers General Catalyst and Upfront Ventures, and new faces SemperVirens, Certify is scaling from insurgent to infrastructure. This $40 million Series B brings their total to $69 million, and they’ve more than earned the runway. Certify tripled revenue year-over-year, scaled a remote team fivefold, and landed marquee clients like Oscar Health, VillageMD, Thirty Madison, and Alma. Not bad for a platform that started during a pandemic, in an industry that still thinks PDFs are innovation.
And let’s talk impact: Certify’s platform isn’t some glorified spreadsheet. It cuts admin costs by 40%, boosts data accuracy by 30%, hits 99.8% field-level accuracy, and shaves credentialing timelines from months to days. We’re talking about an engine that processes real-time primary source verifications, continuous provider monitoring, and AI-trained data pipelines pulling from thousands of primary sources, all wrapped in an API-first, UI-agnostic setup built on Google Cloud. This isn’t duct tape and dashboards, this is infrastructure you can actually build on.
Healthcare spends billions correcting the same errors, year after year, because no one had the guts or the tech to fix provider data at the root. Certify said, “We’ll take it from here.” They’re not just plugging leaks, they’re replacing the pipes. And with Simon Maas, Nick Helfrich, Mitchell Gorodokin, Alexander Klepadlo, Juliana Van Daele, and Carla Simmons in key seats, this crew knows how to move.
Certify’s vision? One API. One Provider ID. One source of truth for a $4 trillion industry that’s been held hostage by legacy tech and spreadsheet thinking. And here’s the real twist, every new customer makes the system smarter. That’s the network effect at full tilt.
