"AI startup Zingage has raised $12.5 million in seed funding to help bring healthcare inside the home - a shift it says will occur over the next decade. The two-year-old startup is developing an AI-powered scheduling and operations product for home healthcare agencies, which send caregivers into people's homes for aid - as opposed to a hospital or long-term facility."
"The mission hits close to home for its cofounders, Daniel Tian and Victor Hunt. Hunt, who formerly cofounded real estate tech company Astorian, told Business Insider his mother required home aid following an assault and that his grandmother started her own home healthcare company. Tian, a former engineer at Ramp and TikTok who is Zingage's CTO, struggled to find steady care for his grandfather with Alzheimer's."
"Patients aren't receiving care because agencies are bogged down by offline logistics, cofounder and CEO Victor Hunt told Business Insider, while workers in the field are cobbling together hours to make a living wage. "We want all healthcare to be deployed in the home - from basic personal care companionship to skilled nursing to hospital at home to the ability to provide more remote patient monitoring," Hunt said."
Zingage secured $12.5 million in seed funding led by Bessemer to build an AI-driven scheduling and operations platform for home healthcare agencies. The platform aims to automate offline logistics, optimize caregiver routing and shifts, and increase capacity for in-home medical and personal care. Agencies currently struggle with manual coordination while caregivers piece together hours to earn a living wage. Founders Daniel Tian and Victor Hunt draw on personal family healthcare experiences and technical startup backgrounds. Demographic shifts, greater emphasis on preventive care, and older adults' preference to age in place are driving demand for in-home services and remote patient monitoring.
