Helia Care, Inc. just pulled $3M into Scottsdale like a surgeon calling for the right instrument before the incision. Clean. Intentional. No wasted motion. The equity round, first sold in October 14, 2025 and announced February 12, 2026, brings In Revenue Capital and Habanero Ventures into the room, with Justin Gray and R. Craig Coppola backing the thesis that healthcare’s most annoying problem is also its most expensive one.
Grant Siders, Founder, President, CEO and Director, built Helia Care in 2016 with a Marine’s discipline and a founder’s stubborn optimism. Delaware incorporated, Arizona headquartered at 14301 N. 87th Street, Suite 116. The product, Helia Connect, now called Helia Exchange, is not another dashboard collecting dust. It is a 2-sided provider supplier transaction network that replaces the chaotic bill only process with what the company calls a digital handshake. Before the scalpel hits the tray, the data aligns. Before the invoice lands, the contract is clear.
The numbers are not decorative. More than 85% of a hospital’s suppliers are on network day 1. Over 3,000 digital contracts aligned. More than 100 hospitals added through expansion into 3 of the largest U.S. health systems. At Lifepoint Health, Jay Kirkpatrick, Vice President of Supply Chain Operations, reported a 50% reduction in not on contract spend within 2 months, without ERP integration. Read that twice. No ERP integration. That is like cutting lap times without changing the engine.
Justin Gray put it plainly. The average savings per hospital location is $1.85M, with $1K+ saved per order. In a market Helia Care estimates bleeds $10B annually in unnecessary expense, touching more than 50% of hospital supply chain spend and over 60% of net patient revenues, the math stops being abstract. It becomes oxygen.
This did not happen by accident. The October 14, 2025 SEC Form D lists Grant Siders alongside Rick Ferreira as Executive Officer and Director, and Tim Einwechter as Director. Ferreira and Einwechter have seen a $525M exit before with Ascent Healthcare Solutions. Chris Taylor, Board Director since September 2021 and former President of Parallon at HCA Healthcare, knows what scale inside 1,400+ hospitals feels like. Kevin Liszewski, Senior Vice President of Sales, brings 25+ years across software and medical devices. Bob Eagan, CTO, has been building since 2016. Bryan DaHarb, Vice President of Sales, and Shelly Lane, Accounting Controller, round out the operators who make the gears turn. John Romer has appeared publicly as Chief Revenue Officer, adding another layer of commercial firepower.
Serra Ventures showed early conviction with over $1M in 2018. Now In Revenue Capital pairs capital with an operator immersive model, embedding for 3–6 months. Habanero Ventures adds 30+ years of pattern recognition. That is money with muscle.
1 patent filed April 19, 2018 for coordinating implant procedures. HIPAA compliant. Roughly 29–34 employees. A network chasing a $10B cumulative savings milestone.
Helia Care is not selling software. It is selling certainty in a system addicted to friction. When the handshake is digital and the savings are tangible, the exchange stops being a transaction and starts becoming leverage.
