Principal, Strategic Partnerships (Private Equity)

Every time you call a doctor's office, the system forgets you the moment you hang up. You wait on hold, explain everything from scratch, get bounced between lines, and hope someone follows up. Everyone has felt this, and no one should have to.

At Assort Health, we are building the fix: one continuous conversation for every patient, across every modality: call, text, and message. An agent that knows who you are, remembers how you like to be reached, notices when something in your care changes, and carries that from your first symptom to your full recovery.

Assort is the fastest-growing AI agents company in healthcare. Our omnichannel agents handle calls, texts, and chats from end to end, integrating with EHR and PMS systems and the real-world preferences of every provider so patients reach the care they need without the wait.

Since launching the first voice AI to answer a phone call for a patient in 2023, Assort has handled over 170M patient interactions across ~8,000 providers and cut average hold times from 11 minutes to 1, driving real ROI for the practices we serve. We have built the largest specialty healthcare voice dataset in the world, spanning 62K care protocols and 1.6M decision pathways.

We are growing fast. We went from 15 people in 2025 to 170 today and are doubling again this year. Revenue has grown 15x in the last 15 months.

Backed by Lightspeed and First Round, we have raised over $100M at a $700M valuation. We were named to the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30 (as the only healthcare AI company on the list) and the Forbes Cloud 100 alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Ramp.

The problem is wide open, and we are the team to solve it. If you want to build the solution for how hundreds of millions of people access care, come do it with us.
