This Series B round led by General Catalyst, with investments from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and other prominent investors, will enable Sprinter Health to scale its tech stack, broaden its scope of services and engage more people in communities across the country

MENLO PARK, Calif., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sprinter Health today announced the close of a $55 million Series B financing round led by General Catalyst, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) Bio + Health and other existing investors including the Regents of the University of California, Google Ventures, and Accel. Sprinter Health’s mission is “healthcare untethered.” They specialize in engaging hard to reach populations, utilizing a technology-first approach paired with in-person clinical staff to increase access to care. Since its founding in 2021 by Max Cohen and Cameron Behar (both formerly of Oculus and Google), Sprinter Health has now raised over $125 million.

In a crowded market of traditional providers and digital health companies, Sprinter has distinguished itself by creating a system that pairs virtual and in-home care. Sprinter couples its in-home W-2 staff, cross-trained as medical assistants, community health workers, and phlebotomists, with a virtual team of nurse practitioners and specialists. “Meeting patients where they are” often means a virtual-only solution, which fails to actively connect with those least engaged in the healthcare system. Most significant care pathways require an in-person component. When Sprinter Health’s staff (known as Sprinters) arrive at patients’ doorsteps, the human touch makes a big difference in delivering impactful, high-quality care and ensuring patients are drivers on their health journey, not just passengers. Since Sprinters are hired from the communities they serve, healthcare is delivered by people that patients see at the grocery store or the movie theater, creating a sense of comfort and trust right from the start.

With a laser-like emphasis on routing, logistics, and engagement, Sprinter Health is making “last-mile healthcare” not just possible, but delivered efficiently. With the patient experience at its core (manifesting in a 90+ Net Promoter Score), Sprinter’s technology innovation and proprietary full-stack approach extends the normal geographic area that Sprinters can cover, helping them see more patients, cover more regions, and provide access to people whose location is often a barrier to receiving care.

“Sprinter Health’s advanced technology ensures that our Sprinters’ schedules are optimized to be with the right patient, at the right location, at the right time,” said Max Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Sprinter Health. “For example, our Sprinter Platform enables the average Sprinter to engage with and provide services for up to twelve people a day. It could be lead screening for a child in one location, an eye exam for a patient with diabetes in another, and a comprehensive assessment with care planning through a hybrid visit with a nurse practitioner for a Medicare Advantage member in the afternoon. This level of service and scale is possible only because of Sprinter Health’s technology and artificial intelligence that account for a long list of variables including traffic and weather patterns, location-based parking considerations, individualized patients’ needs and appointment times and region-specific idiosyncrasies.”

As chronic disease continues to be a burden to patients and the healthcare system alike, identifying gaps in care and taking action on them become more critical to reducing the massive increases in healthcare costs. Sprinter’s own research has shown that over 30 percent of American adults have known unattended care needs to manage their chronic health issues. Their approach doesn’t stop with closing a gap, but rather is designed around closing the loop. Sprinter reconnects these patients with their existing care team or with a team of navigators to connect them with the clinical and community resources they need. This ensures that the activation of these previously unengaged patients can result in positive longitudinal outcomes, not just a transactional encounter.

Since they first launched in California, Sprinter Health has expanded from five states in 2023 to 18 today, with plans to reach 22 by the end of summer 2025. They have completed nearly 100,000 visits to people in their homes, on behalf of national health plans. Sprinters follow a customized checklist to ensure that they administer the proper tests and provide the appropriate care that matches patients’ needs, improving quality and reducing error and wasted spend. Sprinter Health prioritizes a holistic approach to care; Sprinters are able to identify unmet social needs in patients’ homes, from fall risks to an empty fridge, and ensure that the proper referrals are made to address those issues. Sprinter Health addresses up to 20 quality measures with an 80 percent gap closure rate, and impacts 45% of the requirements to achieve a 4 Star rating or better for plans.

“We believe Sprinter Health is emerging as a category-defining company in home-based care,” said Holly Maloney, Managing Director of General Catalyst, who also led Sprinter’s seed round. “They’ve built the technological infrastructure to make care both scalable and impactful for the people who need it most. Max, Cameron, and the team have reimagined how care reaches patients — expanding access, improving outcomes, and delivering real value to health plans and providers.”
