Assured raises $6M for AI-native network management that gets providers seeing billable patients faster

We started Assured in 2024 to build the automation layer for healthcare administration. We believe that fixing provider credentialing and payer enrollment is one of the highest-leverage ways to expand access to care. To get there, healthcare organizations need infrastructure that is both faster and more accurate than the manual workflows they rely on today.

The hidden crisis costing billions‍

Before starting Assured, we built Dawn Health, a virtual clinic specializing in interventions for sleep disorders. We experienced these operational issues firsthand as we scaled to hundreds of providers across 15 states. Getting providers credentialed with payers was a slow, manual, and error-prone process. Data was fragmented across dozens of systems and formats, and every payer had different requirements with lengthy review cycles that stalled onboarding. Every delay meant lost revenue and patients waiting longer for care. We quickly realized that this problem was decades old and not unique to us.

In fact, healthcare organizations lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue for every provider stuck in credentialing delays. With traditional credentialing and payer enrollment taking 60-120 days, qualified providers sit idle while patients face months-long wait times for care. This hidden crisis drains billions from the U.S. healthcare system annually. But it doesn't have to.

Accelerating access to care by helping providers get in-network faster with fewer errors 

Assured is the first AI-native network management platform that compresses months of manual processes into days of automated workflows. We've built the infrastructure to automate every step from primary source verification to enrollment submission while maintaining the compliance, auditability, and payer relationships needed to operate at scale.

Our AI-powered platform transforms what used to be a manual nightmare. Where teams once spent weeks chasing down verifications one by one, Assured now automatically verifies credentials across 2,000+ primary sources in parallel. Where credentialing managers used to juggle spreadsheets to track application status, our intelligent workflows route applications through the optimal path, flagging issues before they cause delays. The result: Assured can fully credential a provider in 2 business days. On the payer enrollment front, Assured gets most providers in-network 15 days faster, unlocking significant revenue for groups and access for patients.

In the last year, we've processed tens of thousands of enrollments, achieved NCQA CVO certification, and saved our customers hundreds of hours each month. From major health systems like Houston Methodist to fast-growing digital health companies like Blossom Health and Tono Health, healthcare organizations are choosing Assured to build provider networks faster and scale across multiple states without friction.

Our 30% month-over-month growth reflects the urgent demand for modern provider operations infrastructure. Organizations aren't just looking for incremental improvements — they want transformation.

New funding to fuel our mission

Today, we're excited to announce that we've raised $6M in seed funding, led by First Round Capital with participation from Kindred Ventures, Bragiel Brothers, and the founders of Atria and Grow Therapy.

"Provider operations are healthcare's most overlooked infrastructure problem," said Bill Trenchard, Partner at First Round Capital. "Assured built the intelligence layer that healthcare needs to scale. Their combination of deep domain expertise and AI automation doesn't just solve today's bottlenecks. It fundamentally rewrites how provider networks grow."

The future we’re building

We envision a world where provider operations are invisible. Where licensing across states happens instantly, credentialing is continuous and automatic, and the only limit to healthcare growth is patient demand, not paperwork. With this funding, we're doubling down on our AI capabilities, expanding our team with operators who've felt this pain firsthand, and establishing the AI-powered provider network management platform as healthcare's essential infrastructure.

This isn't just about saving time or money. It's about ensuring every patient can see the right provider when they need care, without administrative barriers standing in the way.
