Solace operates a marketplace connecting patients and families with healthcare advocates who work directly on their behalf to navigate the U.S. healthcare system. The platform matches patients - particularly those covered by Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans - with experienced nurses, doctors, and care specialists who coordinate care, manage insurance approvals, schedule appointments, and translate medical information. Since its founding in 2022, Solace has served over 200,000 patients across all 50 states.
The company has secured $130 million in Series C funding and achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. It partners with major insurers including United Healthcare, Humana, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and Wellcare. The model distinguishes itself by employing advocates who represent patient interests rather than those of insurance companies or hospitals.
Solace operates as a fully remote organisation and was founded by Jeremy Gurewitz following personal experience navigating the healthcare system during his mother's pancreatic cancer diagnosis. The company is led by CEO Gurewitz and Chief Product Officer Sara Sargent.
