Alpaca Health

Alpaca Health builds software for clinicians working in autism care. Its platform acts as an operating system for running a practice, handling the operational work that comes with it - billing, payroll, payouts, intake, clinical workflows and communication with parents - so that clinicians can concentrate on treatment. The product is aimed at clinicians who want to start and run their own businesses rather than work within an established provider.

The company reports that nearly 50 clinicians have launched their practices on the platform, and that more than 200 children receive care through it each day. Growth is stated at 30% month over month. Alpaca Health has raised more than $12m.

Technical work spans healthcare and practice-management software, automation of billing and payments, clinical workflow automation and parent communication platforms. The team is small; the company describes its structure as one in which everyone owns real problems end to end, with no filler roles.
