About GrindFoundry

GrindFoundry Inc., doing business as Archy, develops all-in-one, cloud-based practice management software for dental practices in the United States. Founded in 2021 by CEO Jonathan Rat, Co-CTO Ben Kolin, and Co-CTO Nimish Sheth, the San Jose, California-based company aims to consolidate multiple software systems into a single platform. Archy provides a HIPAA-compliant, fully automated solution designed to streamline daily operations for dental professionals.

The software's features include patient engagement and communication, scheduling, online forms, charting, imaging, e-prescribing, billing, payment processing, insurance management, and analytics reporting. It replaces the need for multiple disparate products by integrating functionalities like patient communication, imaging software, and payment processing into one system. Key capabilities include AI-driven automation for tasks like insurance verification and billing, online scheduling to reduce front-desk calls, a centralized claims center, and built-in payment tools such as text-to-pay and card-on-file to improve collections. The platform also offers a direct integration with Pearl AI for AI-powered x-ray analysis.

Archy operates on a subscription-based business model. It offers a free plan for new practices with up to 500 patients and a paid plan for existing practices at a monthly fee. In October 2024, the company raised $15 million in a Series A funding round led by Entrée Capital, with participation from investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, CRV, and Alven. The funds are intended to support further product development, with a focus on embedding more AI-powered solutions to enhance practice efficiency and patient experiences.
