Blooming Health
Blooming Health is a New York-based social care technology company using AI to automate access to social services for older adults and vulnerable populations. Its AI-assisted, multilingual platform engages people across text, voice, and email to detect needs, screen for benefits, and connect them to services like meals, transportation, housing assistance, and Medicaid or SNAP recertification. Sold to Area Agencies on Aging, government agencies, community-based organizations, and healthcare providers, the platform has connected over 1.5 million people across roughly two dozen states and raised $32.5 million to date, including a $26 million Series A led by Insight Partners in April 2025.
Nima Roohi Sefidmazgi
Nima Roohi Sefidmazgi is co-founder and CEO of Blooming Health, a New York City startup that uses AI to automate outreach, screening, and referrals for social care - the food, transportation, and support services that sit outside the doctor's office but often decide how a person actually fares. He is a former global data science lead with a decade in machine learning for healthcare and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He started the company in East Harlem in 2020 after becoming a full-time caregiver for his mother-in-law during the pandemic; it has since raised $32.5M, including a $26M Series A led by Insight Partners in April 2025, and operates across 25 states.
