LightSpun
LightSpun (formerly 32Health) is a Boston-based, AI-first software company rebuilding the back office of dental insurance. Its modular, API-first platform automates claims adjudication, benefits administration, provider onboarding, credentialing, and contact-center workflows for dental payers and dental service organizations. Customers auto-adjudicate more than 90% of claims, cut administrative overhead roughly in half, and shrink provider onboarding from 45-60 days to under a week. The company raised a $13M Series A in September 2025 and powers credentialing and claims for a large share of U.S. dental providers, including through a collaboration with the American Dental Association.
