Apaly, a Florida-based health tech company providing a direct contracting digital platform for healthcare employers and providers, has raised $2.4 million in a Seed Funding round to scale the business, the company announced on Monday, April 29, 2024.
Led by 412 Venture, a Pittsburgh-based venture capital fund, the funding round included participants across the United States. Apaly intends to use the capital to scale the business by hiring salespeople to expand their market reach and improve the software platform.
Apaly’s Direct Contracting Platform for Healthcare Sector
Incorporated in 2018, the company launched the direct contracting platform in 2019 to enable employers and providers in the healthcare sector to directly contract online. The platform allows self-funded employers and providers to sign up, enter contract rates, and instantly receive or deliver a service.
Its CEO, Dr. Jerry Beinhauer, founded the company through self-funding six years ago. Since then, Apaly has undergone several transformations as it grows.
Dr. Beinhauer founded the company after selling his healthcare data platform, Auronexus. In 2022, it closed a $400,000 funding, boosting its capital. Currently, the company employs 18 people and collaborates with developers across the globe.
