Abby Care Raises $82 Million Series C to Pay Family Caregivers

3 articles · Updated · Fortune · Oct 15

$82 million in Series C funding will help Abby Care expand its model of training family members as certified, paid caregivers through Medicaid.
Founded in 2022 by Havi Nguyen, the AI-native home care startup works with health plans to arrange in-home care for medically complex patients while supporting relatives already providing that care.
CVS Health Ventures, Frist Cressey Ventures and Pivotal Ventures joined the round, while Khosla Ventures, Thrive Capital and Sequoia increased their bets; Transformation Capital led.
The pitch targets a large care shortfall: traditional private-duty nursing programs fill only 65% of authorized shifts, leaving many families to manage complex care with little guidance.
Abby Care is betting that paying and training relatives can ease U.S. healthcare labor shortages and improve continuity for vulnerable patients at home.
