The platform uses AI to handle repetitive workflows in areas such as billing, supply chain management, pharmacy operations, prior authorizations, vendor contracts, and inventory management. By automating these burdensome processes, Olive aims to free hospital staff from manual, repetitive work and enable them to focus on patient care. In December 2020, Olive closed a Series G funding round of $225.5 million led by Tiger Global Management and joined by existing investors General Catalyst, Drive Capital, and Silicon Valley Bank along with new investors GV, Sequoia Capital Global Equities, Dragoneer Investment Group, and Transformation Capital Partners.

The company had raised a cumulative $448 million since its founding in 2012, with $385 million of that raised in the nine months prior to this December 2020 round. Throughout 2020, Olive had established itself as critical infrastructure for over 600 U.S. hospitals, including 22 percent of the top 100 health systems in the country. The company employed 360 people at the time of the Series F round in September 2020 and used the new capital to accelerate product development and expand its AI capabilities across the healthcare ecosystem. |
