San Francisco-based healthtech startup TriFetch has secured $1.9 million in pre-seed funding to build an AI-powered automation platform designed for specialty clinics. The round was led by Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from strategic angel investors connected to Google, Hippocratic AI, Mercor, MIT, and healthcare technology ecosystems. The raise reflects growing investor interest in AI solutions that reduce administrative overload in healthcare. Founded by Varuni Sarwal and Rosemary He, TriFetch is focused on solving some of the most time-consuming workflows in independent specialty clinics: patient calls and scheduling, referral processing, and prior authorizations. These manual processes often create staff burnout, revenue delays, and poor patient experience. TriFetch’s platform includes multilingual voice AI for patient communication, automated referral routing, eligibility verification, booking coordination, and prior authorization management. The system integrates with existing healthcare software such as NextGen, eClinicalWorks, and Athenahealth, enabling rapid deployment without costly migrations. The startup is already running pilot programs in California across ophthalmology, cardiology, and GI clinics. In one example, the platform reportedly handled around 100 referrals daily, freeing significant staff time and creating meaningful annual savings for clinics. The fresh capital will be used to scale product development, expand customer success teams, deepen integrations, and enter broader healthcare segments including multispecialty groups, primary care, and hospital networks. As healthcare systems increasingly adopt AI for operations rather than only clinical use cases, TriFetch enters a high-demand category with strong expansion potential.
