About Candid Health

Candid Health is a Revenue Cycle Management automation platform founded in 2019 that streamlines insurance claim payments by operating between provider groups and insurance companies. The company initially established itself as the billing engine for digital health providers before expanding into the traditional healthcare market, where it now focuses on enterprise ambulatory providers within a $280 billion annual industry. Headquartered across San Francisco, Denver, and New York, Candid Health has demonstrated exceptional growth, more than 2.5x'ing its revenue and team size annually, supported by prominent investors including Y Combinator, First Round Capital, Oak HC/FT, and 8VC. Built on a foundation of founder-led organic sales, the company is now scaling its go-to-market capabilities through strategic investments in marketing, sales, and commercial functions to accelerate its market penetration.

Ambra

Founded by Ayla, a former healthcare investor and EMT, and August, a founding engineer with deep expertise in voice and AI healthcare, this San Francisco-based company is transforming emergency medical services billing and claims. Backed by Eniac and Euclid Ventures at the pre-seed stage, the company is already live with customers and approaching $1M in annual recurring revenue.
