Vali Health, a digital health startup building AI infrastructure for the home care industry, today emerged from stealth with $6 million in funding from Bonfire Ventures, Supernode, and Comma Capital, along with Jacquelyn Kung, an industry veteran who built two of the largest software platforms for home care.
Vali Health was founded by Serena Dang (CEO) and Jason Wu (CTO).
Dang is a 2x founder who also attended Cornell University’s award-winning Hospitality Program, whose training shaped Vali’s service-first approach. Wu is also a 2x founder who previously built products in the fintech and e-commerce industries.
“The future of aging in place depends on smarter infrastructure behind the scenes, and Vali is building exactly that,” said Jacquelyn Kung, co-founder of ClearCare (now part of WellSky), founder of Activated Insights, and investor in Vali.
“Home care is an industry where 80% of the workforce is female, and software has traditionally lacked the responsibility and frontline insight these professionals deserve. Vali is the first AI-native solution I’ve seen that takes the caregiver-client relationship seriously — and the impact for seniors, caregivers, and families will be profound,” added Jacquelyn Kung.
Vali Vali Health has built an AI-native 24/7 safety infrastructure that ensures continuity of care while saving mid-sized agencies upwards of 20 hours per week. Its AI agents enable home care agencies to automate workforce management and coordination, while maintaining trust and safety front and center.
In the past 12 months, the startup has grown 400% and expanded to serve agencies in nearly 100 locations across 30 states.
