## Overview

Ember is a San Francisco-based AI startup founded in 2024 that automates healthcare revenue cycle management (RCM) for health systems, hospitals, medical practices, and specialty clinics. The company was founded by Charlene Wang (CEO) and Warren Wang (CTO), bringing together expertise from Google Healthcare AI, MIT CSAIL, and NVIDIA medical research.

Ember's platform applies AI agents to the most labor-intensive parts of the revenue cycle: prior authorization, medical coding, claims scrubbing, denial prevention, and appeals. The company reports a 55% reduction in claim denials and 50-75% reduction in FTE hours for clients, with onboarding achievable in three days. The platform supports 26+ medical specialties.

Ember raised a USD 4.3M seed round led by Nexus Venture Partners in November 2025, with additional backing from Y Combinator. The company participated in Y Combinator's Fall 2024 batch and has raised a total of USD 4.8M including the initial YC investment.
