Kubera Health, a developer of financial infrastructure for healthcare contracts, raised $6.5 million in seed funding led by Upfront Ventures, with participation from Company Ventures, Dria Ventures, and SemperVirens.
The new seed funding will support continued investment in Kubera’s product, engineering, and go-to-market teams as the company expands its capabilities across value-based care and other novel contract structures, builds out a dedicated payment recovery layer, and grows adoption across health systems, provider organizations, and payor networks.
The American Medical Association has estimated that one in five commercial claims is processed inaccurately, a rate that has barely moved in over a decade. It contributes to a U.S. healthcare administrative burden that now runs approximately $1 trillion a year, with hospital bad debt up 10% in 2025 alone. The contract and the claim have never actually been connected, and existing tools all work downstream of that disconnection.
“I went into medicine expecting to spend my career on care delivery. The hardest problems I ran into were the ones nobody was supposed to talk about: billion-dollar payment decisions running through spreadsheets, and an industry betting its future on value-based care without the contract and payment infrastructure to support it. That’s what Kubera is building,” said Roja Garimella, founder and CEO of Kubera Health.
Kubera Health partners primarily with mid-to-large health systems with complex managed care operations. Every customer to date has expanded their engagement with Kubera, including Los Angeles-based Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center.
