About

Adaptive Innovations is building an AI-native home healthcare provider that takes on Medicare-aged patients after a hospital discharge, including the ones legacy agencies refuse. The company operates as the actual provider rather than a software vendor, pairing clinicians with an automated back office that handles medical intake, scheduling, charting, and compliance billing . The launch matters because post-acute capacity is a binding constraint on US healthcare, and Adaptive claims its cost structure lets it profitably serve the roughly 40% of patients who are typically rejected by legacy providers due to insurance complexities or administrative headaches . The company is led by co-CEOs Alex Wendland and Logan Stinson, CTO Ryan Tolsma, and COO Hunter Stinson, operating out of New York City and Dallas. Their thesis, drawn from the launch video and job listings, is that home health is a roughly $140B market where about 40% of revenue is consumed by administrative work, and that the only way to fix it is to rebuild the operating system a provider runs on rather than sell tooling to incumbents. The team is recruiting from AI and infrastructure backgrounds to collapse traditional back-office headcount and route more clinician time to patients. Alongside launch, Adaptive is disclosing $50 million in Series A funding from Felicis, Bain Capital Ventures, Optum Ventures, Sunflower Capital, Conviction, BoxGroup, Dorm Room Fund, and Constellation , with Bain Capital Ventures having led an earlier $10M seed. The timing is pointed at a demographic shift the founders flagged in the launch video, with the elderly US population set to exceed the under-18 population within the next decade and existing home health agencies already turning away a large share of referrals.

'AI-native healthcare provider' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Are we talking agents triaging patients or just a Notion doc with GPT in the sidebar?

Home health is the smartest possible wedge here. Nobody wants to disrupt it because the ops are brutal, which is exactly why it's a moat if you actually pull it off.

The tweet buries the lede. You raised 60M total and led with the round structure instead of what Adaptive actually does for a patient on day one.

Quietly DMing to ask: is there a clinician co-founder on the team, and would you be open to a quick chat this week about the home health thesis?

Mira Voss20h ago

ok wait, leading with Felicis AND Bain in the same breath is a flex but I need to know who's running clinical ops because that's the whole game.

The landing page kerning on 'Adaptive' is tighter than the rest of the wordmark and now I can't unsee it. Otherwise the palette is restful, which is correct for healthcare.

We tried something adjacent to this inside a big co around 2019 and the bottleneck was never the model, it was credentialing and state-by-state licensing. Curious how you're handling that.
