Kin Health Raises $9M in seed round led by Maveron

The round also saw participation from Town Hall Ventures, Flex Capital, Eniac Ventures, The Family Fund, Pear VC, Watershed Ventures, Foundry Square Capital, and individual investors, including GoodRx co-founders Doug Hirsch and Trevor Bezdek, Nabeel Quryshi, Jay Desai, Alex Cohen, Saharsh Patel, and more than 30 physicians.

The company plans to use the funding to improve its consumer platform, strengthen its health record features, enhance its clinical quality system, and introduce new care navigation tools to help patients and their families take action more easily.

The company is developing a consumer health platform to improve communication between doctors and patients. It's a free app that records medical appointments and converts them into simple summaries that patients can easily understand, follow, and share with others.

For years, healthcare technology innovation has mainly focused on helping providers with documentation, billing, and clinical decision-making tools. Ambient scribe technology is now widely used across major health systems, but few tools have been built specifically for patients during medical visits.

kin Health aims to fill that gap with a free app that records doctor-patient conversations and turns them into clear summaries with next steps for patients. Over time, the app creates a long-term health record based on what doctors actually said, making it easier for patients to stay organized and share information with caregivers and family members.

Like GoodRx, Kin Health plans to keep its app free for patients. The company will generate revenue from services connected to medical visits, such as specialist referrals, lab tests and prescriptions, rather than charging patients directly.

“You need to have felt this problem to build the solution to it. We know how powerful – and overwhelming – provider conversations can be,” said Amit Parikh, MD. “All patients want to leave the exam room with a better understanding of what’s happening in their body and what they can do next. Kin gives them a tool to do that.”

“The most important moment in a patient's care is the conversation with their doctor. Everything else – adherence, follow-through, outcomes – flows from whether they understood it,” said Arpan Parikh, MD, who also serves as CEO of Kin Health. “So far, that moment hasn’t been addressed for patients. We built Kin to change that.”

“We spent a decade proving that consumer health could be a real business without charging patients,” said Hirsch. “Kin is the next version of that thesis, starting earlier in the care journey.”

“The best consumer health products remove friction without asking anything in return,” said Alwyn, who also serves as CTO. “We build tools that allow patients to actually follow through on their care, and only succeed when they do so.”
