# Eliana Berger

> Eliana Berger is the co-founder and CEO of Joyful Health, a New York startup building AI-powered financial infrastructure for healthcare providers. The company focuses on the hardest part of the revenue cycle - chasing down denied and unpaid insurance claims - and works on performance-based pricing, getting paid only when it recovers money for clients. In April 2026, Joyful Health raised a $17M Series A led by CRV, bringing total funding to $22M. Berger's path to the problem was personal: she grew up watching her mother and grandmother run a therapy practice and struggle to understand what had been paid and what was still owed.
