DALLAS & CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., October 13, 2025-- 5IR Funds, a venture fund backing foundational technologies of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, today announced it is leading a $6.5 million Series A investment in HOOTL, an AI-first company building secure, scalable automation to fix one of healthcare’s most broken systems: insurance processing..

达拉斯和夏洛茨维尔（弗吉尼亚州），2025年10月13日——5IR基金，一家支持第五次工业革命基础技术的风险投资基金，今天宣布其正在领投HOOTL的650万美元A轮融资。HOOTL是一家以人工智能为核心的公司，致力于构建安全、可扩展的自动化解决方案，以修复医疗保健领域最破碎的系统之一：保险处理。

At the intersection of healthcare, artificial intelligence, and trust-based automation, HOOTL is developing specialized workflows that reduce insurance claim denials, streamline policy change tracking, and validate claims in real time. By targeting the billions of dollars lost each year to inefficiencies and errors, HOOTL is creating the missing infrastructure layer for secure, compliant automation in healthcare..

在医疗保健、人工智能和基于信任的自动化交汇处，HOOTL正在开发专门的工作流程，以减少保险索赔拒付、简化保单变更跟踪并实时验证索赔。通过针对每年因效率低下和错误而损失的数十亿美元，HOOTL正在为医疗保健领域中安全合规的自动化构建缺失的基础设施层。

What sets HOOTL apart is not only its robust suite of AI agents and unique communication capabilities, but also its privileged access to regulatory bodies and deep expertise in navigating healthcare policy. This positioning enables HOOTL to anticipate and adapt to policy shifts, embedding compliance and trust directly into its automation framework—something few competitors can credibly claim..

HOOTL 的与众不同之处不仅在于其强大的 AI 代理套件和独特的通信能力，还在于其对监管机构的特权访问以及在医疗政策导航方面的深厚专业知识。这种定位使 HOOTL 能够预测并适应政策变化，将合规性和信任直接嵌入其自动化框架中——这是少数竞争对手能够可信宣称做到的。

Rather than deploying generic AI models, HOOTL builds domain-specific AI agents that work hand-in-hand with policy intelligence. This means providers can engage insurers with confidence, secure in the knowledge that their systems are aligned with the latest regulatory mandates and payer requirements..

与其部署通用的AI模型，HOOTL构建了与政策智能密切协作的领域专用AI代理。这意味着供应商可以自信地与保险公司合作，确信其系统符合最新的监管要求和支付方需求。

“HOOTL represents the next evolution of healthcare automation: domain-specific, compliance-aware, and trust-first by design,” said David Carstens, Founder and General Partner at 5IR Funds. “The combination of cutting-edge AI and regulatory intelligence makes HOOTL uniquely equipped to solve the insurance bottlenecks that have plagued providers for decades.”.

“HOOTL 代表了医疗保健自动化的下一个演变：特定领域、合规感知，并以信任为设计核心，”5IR Funds 的创始人兼普通合伙人 David Carstens 表示。“尖端人工智能与监管智能的结合，使 HOOTL 能够独特地解决困扰供应商数十年的保险瓶颈问题。”

HOOTL’s initial rollout began in dental practices, where the solution has already been successfully tested against current and legacy platforms. A broader launch across partner networks is scheduled for Q4 2025.

HOOTL 的初步推广始于牙科诊所，该解决方案已经针对当前和旧有平台成功进行了测试。计划于 2025 年第四季度在合作伙伴网络中进行更广泛的发布。

“Our mission is simple but bold: stop the financial bleed in healthcare by applying AI where it truly matters—at the interface of providers, payers, and regulators,” said Denver Riggleman, CEO of HOOTL. “Because of our access to policy makers and regulatory bodies, we’re not just reacting to changes—we’re building systems that anticipate them.

“我们的使命简单而大胆：通过在提供者、支付者和监管者之间的关键界面上应用人工智能，来阻止医疗保健领域的财务流失，”HOOTL首席执行官丹佛·里格尔曼表示。“由于我们能够接触政策制定者和监管机构，我们不仅是在对变化做出反应，而是在构建能够预测变化的系统。”

That’s how we restore trust and unlock real, measurable value for practices.”.

“这就是我们如何恢复信任并为实践解锁真正可衡量的价值。”

The raise will accelerate HOOTL’s product development, regulatory readiness, and market expansion, ensuring providers gain real-time visibility into policy changes and revenue protection.

此次融资将加速HOOTL的产品开发、监管准备和市场扩张，确保供应商能够实时掌握政策变化并保护收入。

Why It Matters

重要性所在

• $450B+ annually is lost in denied claims and administrative friction across U.S. healthcare

• 美国医疗保健系统每年因索赔被拒和行政摩擦损失超过4500亿美元

• 850M Claims denied each year

• 每年有8.5亿份索赔被拒绝

• 90%+ of practices cite insurance complexity as a top barrier to growth

• 90%以上的医疗机构认为保险复杂性是增长的首要障碍

• Policy shifts create a moving target for providers—without the right infrastructure, denial rates only increase

政策变化使供应商面临一个不断变化的目标——如果没有合适的基础设施，拒绝率只会增加。

• HOOTL bridges the gap: AI Agents + Regulatory Access + Real-Time Policy Validation = Recovered Revenue & Trusted Automation

• HOOTL 弥合了差距：AI代理 + 监管访问 + 实时政策验证 = 恢复收入 & 可信赖的自动化
