Adonis Raises $31 Million, Led by Point72 Private Investments, to Improve Healthcare Financial Outcomes and Patient Experiences Through AI

Published

on

NEW YORK, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Adonis, a leading healthcare financial technology platform based in New York City, today announced that it has raised $31 million in Series B financing led by Point72 Private Investments. Point72 Private Investments was joined by new investor Kin Ventures, along with existing investors General Catalyst, Bling Capital, and Max Ventures.

The current round comes on the heels of a $17.3 million Series A round, led by General Catalyst only 12 months ago, bringing the total amount raised to $54 million since the company’s founding in 2022. This fundraise solidifies Adonis’ position as one of the fastest growing revenue intelligence and automation companies in the United States.

As of this fundraise, Adonis works with over 10,000 providers and has processed tens of millions of claims, totaling over $13.3 billion in charges. Adonis works with over 3,000 different payers, equating to nearly all of the payers in the United States, and integrates with over 35 different EHRs and Clearinghouses. Adonis works with health systems, single-specialty physician groups, and rapidly growing digital health companies across anesthesia, dermatology, orthopedics, dental, emergency medicine, gastroenterology, OB/GYN, behavioral health, and more.

For healthcare organizations, the process of collecting revenue from insurance companies represents nearly 1 out of every 7 dollars spent — a testament to the highly manual and ever-changing nature of submitting insurance claims. Adonis was built as a response to the shortcomings of legacy revenue cycle technology that lacked the ability to deploy the pattern recognition and anomaly detection required to streamline and automate otherwise manual workflows, a status quo that represents a $150 billion challenge.

Adonis is a revenue intelligence and automation platform, designed for healthcare, that gives healthcare providers the ability to collect the revenue that they deserve. Since its inception, Adonis has focused on building a proprietary model that applies ML and AI methods to pinpoint the constantly changing root-cause issues that customers face. Adonis Intelligence, Adonis’ flagship product, serves as the engine that powers dramatic reductions in staffing needs and improved collections outcomes. Real-time dashboards and alerts, as well as AI-driven recommendations, claims status tracking, smart worklists, and underpayments detection, increase RCM team efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness.

“The Adonis team has a deep understanding of the complex challenges prevalent in healthcare today,” said Sri Chandrasekar, Managing Partner at Point72 Private Investments. “By helping practices recover more revenue, they are in turn giving providers the ability to focus on improving patient experiences and health outcomes overall. We believe their approach has the potential to create a lasting impact on practices, providers, and patients and are excited to be a partner along the way.”

“The opportunity to expand our investment with Adonis is exciting,” said Holly Maloney, Managing Director at General Catalyst. “We believe their progress is a true testament to the sophistication of their technology, coupled with their relentless pursuit of innovation in the healthcare revenue cycle space. Since investing in their Series A, we’ve watched the Adonis team continuously demonstrate the effectiveness of their technology, helping healthcare teams recover more revenue so that they can focus on clinical outcomes. Their advancements have reinforced our confidence in their technology, team, and strategic vision, and we look forward to continuing to support their journey.”

“Revenue cycle and managing claims continues to be an underlying challenge for many of our nation’s providers and practices, often leading to financial stress and operational inefficiencies. Through cutting-edge technology and a customer-centric approach, we are committed to empowering teams to recover the revenue they deserve and create an improved patient experience. We strive to improve the financial health of healthcare providers, ensuring they can focus on delivering exceptional patient care. Last year, we had the honor of being named a Most Promising Startup of 2023 by Business Insider. In an era of software companies defined by hard-to-reach projections, I am humbled and grateful for our team and early customers for their commitment in helping us drive towards our mission,” said Akash Magoon, Co-Founder and CEO, Adonis.

“Adonis is committed to providing our nation’s healthcare executives with cutting-edge data surveillance and observability tools that enable broad automation capabilities across their ever-growing teams. In the ongoing game of cat-and-mouse between insurance companies and healthcare providers, static rule-based approaches to revenue cycle technology simply does not cut it. Our vision, from the inception of Adonis, was to give healthcare organizations the ability to leverage large language models across the millions of records of data they generate on a daily basis to better inform and mitigate issues, and to recover revenue faster and more efficiently,” said Aman Magoon, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, Adonis.

With this new funding round, Adonis is focused on accelerating product innovation, continuing to expand into the health system space, and growing their New York City-based team.

EcoCharge® and Balancell Partner to Drive Energy Efficiency in Africa with Advanced and Stable Charging Technologies

Published

on

By

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Two advanced energy solutions companies are announcing a multi-year partnership to support the growing demand for reliable and efficient charging solutions across the African market. The IDEAL Industries, Inc. brand EcoCharge by Enatel®, a global leader in battery charging technologies, is supplying charging technology to Balancell, a cutting-edge battery manufacturer and energy supplier.

Empowering Africa’s Energy Transition

Africa is experiencing a dynamic shift toward sustainable energy and electric mobility. Global banks and investors funded $76.04 billion in solar, hydropower, and wind projects across Africa from 2012 to 2021. The investments supported renewable energy developments like Kenya’s Lake Turkana Wind Power Project, a $1.095 billion wind farm that boosted their total electricity supply by 13%. Electrification is also rising; Africa’s electric vehicle market is expected to nearly double between 2021 and 2027.

However, more work remains. Africa attracts less than 5% of the world’s energy investments, using only 11% of its hydropower potential and 0.01% of its wind potential. Over 40% of Africans still lack access to electricity.

To advance battery charging solutions in Africa, Balancell will leverage charging technologies from EcoCharge to electrify the African material handling fleet. This initiative will help reduce CO2 emissions and enhance charging efficiency.

“We are thrilled to be part of the renewable energy transition in Africa,” said Enatel General Manager Mike Clifford. “By partnering with Balancell, we are matching a leading-edge battery design with an advanced charger. We’re confident this winning combination will help our customers achieve faster charging, less energy waste, and higher performance.”

Partnering for Growth and Sustainability

Under the agreement, EcoCharge will supply Balancell with a range of chargers that meet the challenging needs of the African market, such as unstable electrical grids and harsh environments. These advanced chargers will be integrated into Balancell’s advanced industrial batteries, providing the perfect match for optimal energy management and control.

“Partnering with EcoCharge allows us to offer our customers superior charging solutions that are both innovative and sustainable,” said Paul Osborne, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Balancell. “This collaboration enhances our ability to deliver comprehensive energy solutions that support Africa’s transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.”

Driving Innovation

EcoCharge chargers are known for their durability, efficiency, and adaptability, making them suitable for deployment in diverse and sometimes challenging environments across Africa. This partnership with Balancell not only strengthens the product offerings available to the African market but also underscores the EcoCharge commitment to continued innovation and investment in sustainable energy solutions.

EDC expands Indo-Pacific presence with a new representation in Japan

Tokyo hub in key “gateway to Asia” nation will better support Canadian exporters

OTTAWA, ON and TOKYO, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Export Development Canada (EDC) announced the opening of its new representation in Tokyo, Japan. This marks EDC’s ninth Indo-Pacific representation, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to helping Canadian companies diversify into higher-growth markets.

As the world’s fourth-largest economy and fifth-largest export destination for Canada in 2023 (accounting for 1.9% of national exports), Japan presents a wealth of opportunities for Canadian exporters of all sizes. Boasting a trusted free market and a strong business and a regulatory environment supported by democratic institutions, the country serves as a strategic launchpad offering exporters easier entry into the region and subsequently into other Indo-Pacific markets. EDC’s Tokyo representation will serve as a vital hub, offering on-the-ground support, market insights and tailored financial services to Canadian companies.

Japan is a key trading partner for Canada, and our countries enjoy deep economic and trade relations spanning 95 years,” said Mairead Lavery, President and CEO, EDC. “With Japan’s reliance on imports, the opportunities for Canadian exporters— particularly in sectors like cleantech, agriculture, and bioscience—are too big to ignore. This representation will offer on-the-ground support necessary for Canadian businesses to capitalize on emerging opportunities and succeed in the Japanese market.” 

In 2023, Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) stock into Canada reached $49.3 billion, solidifying its role as the leading source of FDI from the Indo-Pacific and third largest worldwide, according to Global Affairs Canada. Additionally, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), in force since 2018, continues to provide Canadian investors with access to Japanese markets by having eliminated or reduced tariffs on most key Canadian exports to the country.

The Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development, welcomed the announcement: “Canada’s longstanding economic and trading partnership with Japan reflects the powerful collaboration between our two countries that benefits Canadian and Japanese people alike. EDC’s new Tokyo representation is a testament to the enduring economic relationship between Canada and Japan and will play a crucial role in supporting Canadian businesses in the Indo-Pacific. I look forward to seeing our trade and investment relationship advance further through these new collaborations.”

George Monize, EDC’s Managing Director and Head of the Indo-Pacific emphasized the strategic importance of Japan for Canadian companies: “Japan has many of the critical elements for Canadian exporters’ expansion in this region. But to really thrive here—strong relationships are key. And that is why we are here, getting to know the market inside and out to forge the connections Canadian companies need to grow and succeed. The Tokyo representation will work closely with our established Singapore hub—harnessing our learnings, experience and networks to ensure we have the right recipe of support in place for Canadian businesses.”

With efforts led by EDC’s Chief Representative, Jean-Bernard Ruggieri, the Tokyo office will collaborate closely with local agencies, government and partners in Japan to navigate market complexities and facilitate business opportunities for Canadian companies. Tokyo complements EDC’s existing representations in Delhi, Mumbai, Shanghai, Beijing, Sydney, Jakarta, Seoul, and Singapore.
