Violet

What Violet does

Violet is a provider data intelligence platform that helps healthcare organizations deliver more inclusive, culturally competent care. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in New York (operating as Violet Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation), the company combines self-reported provider data, third-party verification, and proprietary claims analysis to assess clinician readiness to serve specific patient populations, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Neurodivergent, Rural, and Veteran communities. The platform addresses a structural gap in healthcare: organizations lack standardized ways to measure and communicate provider cultural competence, while patients from underserved populations struggle to find clinicians equipped to meet their needs.

The platform is built around four integrated products: Violet Benchmarks (evidence-based verification of provider experience and competency across eight patient-population categories, validated through research with the University of Pennsylvania's Eidos LGBTQ+ Health Initiative), Clinical Education (CE/CME-accredited courses, with 70 collections mapped to 66 NCQA HEDIS MY2026 measures including 22 race/ethnicity-stratified measures for NCQA Accreditation), Violet Match (patient-provider matching based on verified competencies), and Network Insights (reporting on network capability gaps). Violet Assistant, launched in August 2025, is an AI-powered companion that recommends courses and resources to providers seeking to improve their benchmark scores.

Violet sells through an enterprise field-sales motion to two primary customer segments: health plans (including Medicaid managed care organizations such as Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Health Plan of Nevada, and Rocky Mountain Health Plans) and care delivery organizations (including Northwell Health, Amazon One Medical, Galileo, Headway, Grow Therapy, NOCD, and Parsley Health). The company operates a subscription-based recurring revenue model with undisclosed pricing acquired via 'Request a demo,' supported by content marketing, conference presence (NatCon, BHT, Minnesota State of Reform), and research-driven thought leadership. Total disclosed funding is approximately $5.6-$6.0M across a 2021 pre-seed and an August 2022 seed led by SemperVirens.
