Wedge
YC-backed startup that embeds engineers in health systems to build and maintain back-office AI agents.
Wedge places a forward-deployed engineer with each healthcare customer to build tailored agents for back-office work such as payment reconciliation, records retrieval, claims, coding and reception, then monitors and maintains them. It targets hospitals, health plans and multi-physician groups and was in Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch.
