Assort Health, an AI voice agent platform for healthcare, secured $120 million in Series C funding led by Menlo Ventures. The round values the company at $1.2 billion.
Assort Health has closed a $120 million Series C funding round, with Menlo Ventures leading the investment. The healthcare AI company now carries a $1.2 billion valuation.
The platform uses AI voice agents to handle administrative tasks in healthcare settings, including patient scheduling and related functions. The technology targets a persistent pain point in medical practice management—the volume of routine phone calls and scheduling requests that consume staff resources.
Assort Health operates in the broader agentic AI category, which focuses on autonomous AI systems that can perform multi-step tasks with minimal human intervention. The healthcare sector represents a high-value application for such technology, given the administrative burden on clinics and hospitals.
The Series C funding follows previous investment rounds that established Assort Health as a significant player in healthcare AI. The capital infusion will support product development and market expansion.
The investment reflects continued venture capital appetite for healthcare AI solutions, particularly those addressing operational efficiency. Healthcare providers face ongoing pressure to reduce administrative overhead while maintaining service quality, creating demand for automation tools.
Menlo Ventures' participation signals confidence from a prominent venture firm in both the company and the market opportunity. The healthcare AI space has attracted substantial investment as digital transformation accelerates across the industry.
