About AKASA

At AKASA, our mission is to build the future of healthcare with AI. As the preeminent provider of generative AI solutions for the healthcare revenue cycle, we are solving the biggest challenges facing our customers’ financial infrastructure. We have raised more than $205M in funding from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, BOND, and Costanoa Ventures.

This is one of the most exciting times to join AKASA. Bookings for our new product suite have grown 10x since launching in Q3 of 2024, and we are just getting started. Our customer base represents more than $120B+ in net patient revenue and includes the most innovative health systems in the country, like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and Cleveland Clinic.

Some of our most recent recognitions include being named one of the fastest-growing GenAI startups to watch by AIM Research and an “AI Revenue Cycle Leader” by Black Book in 17 out of 18 categories. Our CEO was ranked among the “Top 50 Healthcare Technology CEOs” by the Healthcare Technology Report, and we have been certified as a “Great Place to Work” for the past five years in a row, just to name a few.

Come join us - everyone is welcome. As an inclusive workplace, we are committed to building an environment where AKASAns are comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work.
