Arguably 2020's hottest health tech startup, Olive (olive.ai) closed THREE funding rounds this year, totaling $450M and valuing the company at $1.5B. Backed by a "who's who" of technology, healthcare, and health tech venture capital, Sean Lane, CEO, clues us in about just what makes Olive so damn fund-able. The company boasts a "healthcare AI workforce" that tackles all the back-office processes hospitals use to run their organizations. This is not sexy stuff -- filing and tracking insurance claims, ordering inventory, managing suppliers, etc. What's hot, though, is how Olive is able to automate these tasks (according to Sean, currently many of these processes are handled by spreadsheets and faxes), "learn" as she's doing it, and create efficiencies and cost savings across all of Olive's 600+ hospital client-base as she does. Could this be the end of "admin expense" in healthcare? If what Olive is currently doing isn't enough, we dive deep into Olive's strategic plan -- ALL FIVE POINTS OF IT (!) -- to learn what's next. My favorite? Number 3. The one where Olive starts to INSTANT PAY CLAIMS to completely disrupt hospital cash flow.
