Bonsai Health Raises $7M Seed to Transform Healthcare With Agentic AI

Founded by PatientPop veterans, Bonsai helps practices improve patient outcomes, reduce staff workload, and grow sustainably through AI automation.

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bonsai Health, the agentic AI platform automating complex healthcare workflows, today announced it has raised $7 million in seed funding led by Bonfire Ventures and Wonder Ventures. Since launch, Bonsai has engaged more than 235,000 patients across 100+ healthcare groups and specialty practices and scheduled over 36,000 appointments, helping patients receive timely care, freeing staff from repetitive tasks, and driving predictable growth for practices.

Patients often miss timely care, not because they don’t want it, but because overwhelmed front office teams lack the tools to consistently keep every patient connected. These missed touchpoints create treatment gaps that can lead to late-stage diagnoses, preventable ER visits, and unnecessary suffering.

Bonsai uses AI to mine practice data and automate a wide range of front office workflows, keeping patients on track with care through personalized outreach and seamless scheduling. The platform integrates directly into practice systems and runs quietly in the background, reducing administrative burden while improving access to care.

“Patients often miss care simply because practices don’t have the time or tools to consistently reach them. Our goal with Bonsai is to quietly take that work off staff’s plate, so patients stay on track with their health and practices can focus on delivering care,” said Travis Schneider, co-founder and co-CEO of Bonsai Health.

“We believe Bonsai represents a new category of practice infrastructure, an intelligent AI layer that automates front-office workflows end to end, working in the background to keep patients connected to care and practices running smoothly,” added Luke Kervin, co-founder and co-CEO.

The $7 million in seed funding will accelerate Bonsai’s specialty-trained AI agents, expand into new medical specialties, and scale commercialization efforts nationwide.

“What Travis and Luke have built is nothing short of category-defining, an agentic AI platform purpose-built for healthcare. We believe this team is uniquely positioned to transform how practices operate, creating better outcomes for patients and stronger businesses for providers,” said Jim Andelman, Co-Founder and General Partner at Bonfire Ventures.

"Healthcare’s front office bottleneck has plagued the industry for decades with overwhelmed staff, missed appointments, and patients falling through the cracks. Bonsai’s AI-first approach doesn’t just digitize workflows, it reimagines them. Their traction with more than 235,000 engaged patients and 36,000 scheduled appointments proves this isn’t theoretical. Bonsai is solving a massive, universal pain point with measurable impact,” said Dustin Rosen, Managing Partner at Wonder Ventures.
