Kouper, a health tech startup focused on streamlining transitions of care, has emerged from stealth with $10 million in funding from General Catalyst, 25Madison, and CVS Health Ventures. The platform aims to support the millions of U.S. patients navigating healthcare settings each year.

The post-hospital discharge phase is a critical yet vulnerable time for patients, where poor management can lead to over $53 billion in preventable readmission costs annually. Kouper tackles this issue with AI-driven tools that enhance patient engagement, automate scheduling, and collect data across emergency, inpatient, and urgent care transitions.

“Kouper was born from personal experiences and refined through collaboration with 25m Health,” said Salman Ali, Co-Founder and CEO. “Our goal is to deliver personalized care transitions for every patient leaving the hospital. The rapid growth of our team and customer base, along with strong validation from health systems, fuels our momentum.”

Kouper integrates directly with health systems, leveraging real-time data to provide a unified view of the patient journey. Its AI platform transforms fragmented data into actionable insights, particularly after hospital events, enabling better coordination and outcomes without additional staffing or complex processes.

“Kouper addresses a major healthcare challenge by fixing broken care transitions,” said Chris Bischoff, Managing Director at General Catalyst. “Their data-driven, patient-focused approach delivers accountability and continuity. We’re excited to back their expansion across U.S. health systems.”

Merrill Anovick, General Partner at 25Madison, added, “Salman and Ablimit’s empathy drives a platform that’s already helped tens of thousands. With new payment models like TEAM, Kouper’s AI-powered solution is critical for health systems. We’re thrilled to support their vision.”
