When it comes to the $1 trillion move to value-based care, most players are still fumbling with spreadsheets like it’s 2004. Meanwhile, Arbital Health is operating in 2025, and the gap is only getting wider. On July 29, the San Francisco-based infrastructure startup announced a $31 million Series B round led by Valtruis, with Transformation Capital, Shaper Capital, and Healthy Ventures doubling down. Because when you’re solving one of healthcare’s most expensive and broken problems, smart money doesn’t hesitate.
This isn’t a company joining the value-based movement, they’re the quiet architects building the plumbing beneath it. Arbital Health was founded in November 2023 to address one core truth: the healthcare system is fundamentally misaligned, and the only way forward is through a trusted, neutral third party that knows how to reconcile risk like a blackjack dealer who’s seen it all. Their platform doesn’t just crunch numbers, it adjudicates complex, multi-stakeholder contracts using AI, actuarial science, and a dose of common sense the industry’s been lacking for years.
CEO Brian M. Overstreet and Chairman Travis May aren’t new kids in white coats. Overstreet built and sold Advera Health Analytics and Sagient Research. May led Datavant and LiveRamp before turning his full attention to fixing the foundation of healthcare’s economics. Together, they’ve assembled a leadership team that reads more like an operator’s fantasy draft, Jesica Freeman driving product, James Arra steering growth, Robert Stewart running point as CTO, and Tim Smith anchoring actuarial strategy like it’s second nature.
The results? Forty-plus payer and provider orgs onboarded in under 18 months. Over 600,000 patient lives already flowing through the system. Partnerships locked in with HarmonyCares, Arkos Health, Complete Health, and Aligned Marketplace. And after scooping up Santa Barbara Actuaries and adding Tim Smith to the table, they’ve cemented themselves as the sharpest braintrust in healthcare modeling, bar none.
This $31 million will power deeper AI automation, more predictive insights, and a wave of integrations for digital health vendors and self-insured employers begging for clarity. Arbital isn’t just a company, they’re a calibration engine for an industry that’s been out of alignment for decades. And they’re scaling fast.
Every legacy system clinging to fee-for-service models should be sweating. The adjudicators are here, and they’re just getting started.
