Joyful Health, a NYC-based AI financial infrastructure company for healthcare revenue operations, has raised $17 million in a Series A funding round led by CRV.
The round also saw participation from XYZ Venture Capital, Designer Fund, Inflect Capital, and Go Global Ventures. The raise brought the total amount to $22M.
The company plans to use the funds to grow its team, accelerate product development, and meet the rising demand from enterprise customers.
Healthcare providers in the U.S. lose over $125 billion in revenue each year not due to poor care or billing, but because financial data is spread across many disconnected systems. A single claim moves through multiple platforms before payment is received and none of them are fully connected. As a result providers can see missing revenue but cannot easily identify where or why it was lost.

Joyful’s approach starts by addressing the main problem: healthcare systems don’t have a single, unified financial system. Instead of adding tools on top of scattered data, Joyful connects revenue cycle systems into one structured platform. It links clinical visits, claims, payment data, payer rules, and bank deposits so providers can see the full journey of every claim for the first time.
With this system in place, Joyful uses AI to find where claims fail, highlight the most valuable recovery opportunities, and run investigation workflows that were once done manually across many systems. It also works with experienced billing and revenue cycle experts who help manage the recovery process, combining technology with human expertise to more accurately handle complex claims.
Joyful has processed over $1.4 billion in transactions, and achieves a recovery rate of more than 95% across different specialties. It works within existing systems and alongside internal teams, helping healthcare providers recover unpaid claims without hiring additional staff.

"Joyful Co-Founder and CTO Warren Green said you cannot automate what you cannot see, and healthcare data is often scattered across many disconnected systems. He explained that this makes financial information messy and hard to use. He added that recent advances in AI now make it possible to organize this data, track the full patient payment journey, and identify where revenue is being lost."
"Joyful is helping healthcare providers who are quickly adopting new technology but still don’t have a clear, unified view of their revenue. Murat Bicer, General Partner at CRV, said the company is building the missing infrastructure by combining revenue cycle expertise with purpose-built technology to improve clarity and control in healthcare financial operations."
"Joyful Co-Founder and CEO Eliana Berger said she saw early on how hard it is for healthcare practices to track payments and outstanding bills. She explained that the main issue is not staffing or workflows, but fragmented financial data spread across many systems. She added that Joyful was created to solve this problem by giving a complete view of each claim’s lifecycle."
