The $149 Gatekeeper Standing Between 5 Million Apartments and a Bad Contractor

Mantys
Mantys is a Y Combinator W23 company founded by Kriti Arora and Mudit Dangi. It began as a real-time ARR reporting and forecasting tool that pulled revenue data out of the spreadsheets SaaS finance teams live in, and has since moved into healthcare, building AI that automates patient insurance eligibility verification for revenue cycle management. In both incarnations the pitch is the same: take a slow, error-prone, spreadsheet-and-phone-call process and let software do it in real time.
Sohar Health
Sohar Health is an API-first platform that automates insurance eligibility checks and verification of benefits (VoB) for behavioral and digital health providers. Founded in 2023 by physician Ashish Mandavia and engineer Lucas Gordon, the company turns a slow, error-prone front-office task into a real-time API call - returning most checks in seconds with high accuracy - so clinics can confirm coverage, cut claim denials, and get paid faster. It graduated from Y Combinator (S23) and raised $3.8M in seed funding led by Kindred Capital in 2025.
Toothy AI
Toothy AI builds HIPAA-compliant AI agents that run the insurance side of a dental practice - verifying patient coverage, filing and correcting claims, chasing denials, and posting payments. Using voice AI to make payer phone calls and portal automation to check eligibility, Toothy aims to take the roughly 160 hours a month that clinics spend on insurance busywork off staff plates. A Y Combinator Winter 2025 company founded in 2024 by Johnny Chen and Matthew Kerrigan, it sells a subscription service to dental clinics looking to collect more, faster, with smaller back-office teams.
