About Livance

Livance is a Brazilian company, founded in 2017 by Claudio Mifano, Gustavo Machado, and Fábio Soccol, that operates within the health-tech and prop-tech sectors by providing managed medical co-working spaces. The company's model targets healthcare professionals, including doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and psychologists, offering them an alternative to the high fixed costs associated with maintaining a private practice. CEO Claudio Mifano, who spent 13 years in the financial market before co-founding Livance, identified the need for a more flexible solution for healthcare practitioners.

The business operates on an "infrastructure as a service" or pay-per-use model, which can reduce a professional's office costs by up to 60%. Clients pay a monthly subscription fee which grants access to a digital platform for managing appointments, payments, and patient communications. This fee also provides a personalized website and dedicated reception services. The use of the physical office space is then charged per minute. This structure transforms the traditionally fixed expenses of rent, cleaning, and administrative staff into variable costs directly tied to the practitioner's usage.

Livance provides fully-furnished, high-standard offices equipped with amenities such as acoustic systems and specialized rooms, like those for gynecology. The service extends beyond the physical space to include a technology platform that helps professionals manage their practice. This includes an app for booking, payment processing, and access to a professional network. The company operates 14 units across major Brazilian cities like São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Campinas, serving over 70 different medical specialties. Since its inception, Livance has secured over BRL 115 million in funding, including a Series B round of $13.2 million in late 2023, led by Monashees. This capital is aimed at doubling its physical presence and enhancing its technology platform to further automate and improve the experience for both practitioners and patients.
