Wedge

Executive Summary

Wedge is a YC S25 pre-seed startup building what it calls the operating system for healthcare AI agents — a platform that deploys AI agents department by department to automate back-office workflows at large health systems, health plans, and multi-physician groups. The market thesis is real and well-timed: agentic AI in healthcare is the fastest-growing sub-segment of health AI (45%+ CAGR), administrative costs represent 30-34% of total U.S. healthcare spend, and the collapse of Olive AI in 2023 left a genuine vacuum in this category. The founding team is credible for stage — Stanford AI/CS, McKinsey, and NVIDIA ML pedigrees are the right ingredients — but the company was founded in 2025, has only 2 confirmed employees, has raised just $500K, and has disclosed no named customers or verified revenue. The single biggest risk is execution: Olive AI raised $850M+ pursuing nearly the identical horizontal back-office OS thesis and still failed, and Wedge will face this same gauntlet against better-capitalized competitors with a fraction of the resources.
