Worki Raises $2.75M in Pre-Seed Funding

The company plans to use the funds to expand its platform to more health systems and further develop its technology to support more complex workforce needs.

Health systems are moving from testing AI to real-world use, but many remain unsure how to move forward as they update operations and address concerns about job losses. Worki helps by providing a platform that connects workforce systems and allows AI to be used across real roles and workflows, while keeping people at the center.

The investment from Redesign Health, and Healthliant shows growing demand for solutions that bring structure to a complex environment. Worki gives leaders better visibility into work processes and helps introduce AI without disruption. Early results show reduced administrative work and potential cost savings as adoption grows.

Worki uses a task based approach to map how work is done across healthcare operations. This creates a clear structure that shows exactly where AI can help by automating or improving specific tasks within existing roles. Instead of using AI broadly, this method ensures it fits into real workflows with the right context.

This approach is based on how organizations actually operate, covering areas like credentialing, onboarding, redeployment, skills development and workforce planning. By focusing on specific tasks rather than general job roles, Worki can scale its AI across departments while giving leaders the clarity they need to adopt AI effectively.

Worki’s founding team has strong experience in healthcare, business strategy, and AI. CEO Craig Allan Ahrens brings expertise in workforce operations and scaling startups, CCO Michael Biggs specializes in healthcare strategy and go-to-market, and CTO Harvey Hongwei Li has led AI and machine learning work at Uber and Airbnb. This strong mix of skills helped attract investor interest.

"Neil Patel of Redesign Health said Worki is building the tools healthcare organizations need to use AI in their workforce by connecting systems and showing where AI can help. He added that the team’s mix of AI and healthcare experience made them a strong investment choice."

"Steve West of Healthliant Ventures said they focus on how technology works in real healthcare settings. He noted that Worki stands out because it is designed to fit into complex workforce operations, helping organizations move from AI testing to real world use."

"Craig Allan Ahrens of Worki said health systems are under pressure to adopt AI while cutting costs but many leaders lack a clear plan. He said Worki is building AI infrastructure that maps tasks connects systems and helps organizations introduce AI in a way that supports employees while improving operations."
