Valerie Health

Valerie Health provides an AI-driven front office platform designed to automate administrative tasks for independent healthcare provider groups. Co-founders Peter Shalek and Nitin Joshi started the company in 2023, which is named using the initials of their children. Shalek previously co-founded the digital mental health startup Joyable, which was sold to AbleTo/Optum, while Joshi co-founded Uber Health and was an engineering leader at Stripe.

The company's platform embeds AI agents with a "human-in-the-loop" system directly into a clinic's existing workflows to automate tasks such as referrals, faxes, and scheduling. It uses large-language and vision-language models to process unstructured data from various documents, which are then classified and structured. This approach aims to reduce administrative costs, improve patient engagement, and increase patient conversion. The business model involves Valerie Health's own employees overseeing the software's autonomous operations as an extension of the client's team. The service is designed to integrate with existing systems like EMR and practice management software without requiring significant workflow changes for the client.

Valerie Health serves large independent physician groups, both physician-owned and private equity-backed, across various specialties including cardiology, urology, primary care, and behavioral health. The company reports that its solution has enabled practices to increase new patient volume by over 5%. In December 2025, Valerie Health announced a $30 million Series A funding round led by Redpoint Ventures, bringing its total funding to $39 million. This capital is intended to expand its offerings, including developing voice AI agents, and to grow its operations and engineering teams.
