San Francisco-based Luminai, which offers an AI-powered enterprise automation platform, raised $38 million in Series B funding, bringing its total raise to $60 million.

Peak XV Partners led the round, with participation from new investor Define Ventures and existing investors General Catalyst and Y Combinator.

WHAT IT DOES

The company offers an AI platform aimed at easing operations within health systems, including moving data between disconnected systems, easing revenue cycle and billing workflows, assisting with prior authorizations and insurance paperwork, and processing claims, forms and eligibility checks. 

Luminai will use the funds to accelerate its growth by expanding its product capabilities, growing its engineering and deployment workforce, and supporting its current customer base.

"Healthcare's administrative functions operate as a massive, manual coordination layer. Encoding that work into software has historically been difficult because workflows span systems and point solutions, depend on unstructured inputs, and require embedded business and clinical context at every step," Kesava Kirupa Dinakaran, founder and CEO of Luminai, said in a statement.

"Recent advances in AI have made it possible to handle that complexity directly – not just automate isolated tasks, but execute full workflows reliably.

In 2022, Luminai, formerly DigitalBrain, secured $16 million in Series A funding, following a $3.4 million seed round.
