Arya Health just raised $18.2M to do what few dare, automate the chaos in healthcare. Because if there’s one thing the post acute care world has too much of, it’s noise, schedules tangled like headphone cords, payrolls that need NASA-level math, and compliance checks that feel like dental work without anesthesia. But when Kunal Sarda and Arunram Kalaiselvan launched Arya Health back in Jan 2022, they weren’t chasing noise. They were building silence, the kind that happens when systems finally start running themselves.
This Series A, led by ACME Capital with Ridge Ventures, Twelve Below, OpenAI execs, and post-acute care leaders joining the round, hits different. It’s not just a raise; it’s validation. Validation that automating the invisible work behind care delivery isn’t just nice-to-have, it’s mission critical. Arya Health’s AI agents aren’t toys; they’re digital teammates pulling 24/7 shifts without needing coffee or PTO. The platform automates onboarding, scheduling, compliance, payroll, and engagement so that caregivers can actually, you know, care.
And the results? The numbers are borderline disrespectful. 43% better clinical coverage with 30% fewer hours. 56% faster shift fills. 90% less effort managing payroll. 76% more providers engaged. 25% more hours filled. 100% fewer “what’s my schedule?” texts clogging the admin’s phone. It’s what happens when you replace the swivel chair grind with data that moves faster than burnout.
Let’s not skip the stats that got investors leaning in. Revenue up 6x this year and pacing for 10x by year-end. Customers like K Health and Thrive Skilled Pediatric Care already proving the model works at scale. It’s not vaporware, it’s traction. And with Melinda Phillips, former CEO of Thrive SPC, stepping in to lead Arya’s new Care@Home Center of Excellence, the company just added 30 yrs of operational muscle to match its tech brain. That move alone says Arya isn’t here to nibble at the edges of home care. It’s going for the center of the plate.
This raise isn’t just about more engineers or bigger logos on a slide deck. It’s fuel to scale the product suite, launch the new Intake Agent, and double down on EMR integrations. It’s about building the first truly AI-native “system of action” for the healthcare workforce, flexible, modular, and built for the messy, regulated, beautiful machine that is caregiving.
