Incredibly excited to announce that Solace has raised a $14M Series A, led by Inspired Capital with participation from our existing investors Craft Ventures and Torch Capital. We connect people to healthcare advocates. Solace is deeply personal to me. My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She was a doctor, someone who advocated for others. But when she was sick, she had a really challenging experience with the healthcare system and ultimately passed away. I wanted to start a company to help people who were going through challenges with their health and I discovered healthcare advocates, people who deeply understand the healthcare system and solve problems that people face at a super high rate. The problem is that it was really hard to find an advocate, and the experience working with them was challenging. So we created a way for people to connect with advocates in a seamless way, and got it covered by Medicare, so patients wouldn't have to worry about it. We've now helped thousands of patients and are growing incredibly quickly, and we're just getting started. You can read our WSJ funding announcement below.
Exciting love advocate part of all teams I care for as a nurse and manager in parent care!
Exciting Times! We’re determined to support your efforts and we can’t wait to collectively disrupt the business of healthcare by giving power back to patients in the form of Independent Patient Advocacy.
As a nurse, a care coordinator and the daughter of two disabled parents this is inspiring and a glimmer of hope that healthcare can be what it's meant to be.
A spark has to start, and this ignition will pave the way for helping millions in the future. Let’s do our part to support those in need. Great initiative—wishing you all the very best! I’ll connect with you shortly to share more about how we are contributing to similar causes.
Well done. I take all the credit for the one idea I gave you on that call (which you shot down) 6 months ago! Hey it's LinkedIn I had to say that! Hope it goes well from here
Congratulations Jeremy Gurewitz and team Solace. Wishing you more success ahead!
