Dental Innovation Alliance VC Fund I, LP (DIA), a venture capital fund at the forefront of investing in the over $1 trillion multi-site healthcare industry with a special focus on dental solutions, announces a strategic investment in Endeavor Health. Endeavor is pioneering an AI-enabled patient financing platform that integrates multiple lenders to provide comprehensive coverage across the credit spectrum, helping practices boost case acceptance while dramatically improving the patient experience. The investment expands DIA's portfolio of innovative practice management solutions, addressing the critical challenge of patient financing that affects over 200,000 fragmented dental, medical, aesthetic, and specialty clinics nationwide.

Endeavor Health tackles a pervasive industry problem: over 50% of patients are rejected for financing with traditional single-lender solutions, forcing practices to juggle three or more lenders with disconnected workflows and costing them up to 20% of treatment revenue in fees. The platform allows patients to submit a single application and receive financing options from multiple lenders simultaneously, providing complete transparency across rates and terms. Early customers report streamlined workflows, higher approval rates, and 20-30% increases in case acceptance for treatments over $1,500.

"Patient financing has become mission-critical for dental practices, yet the current solutions are fragmented, time-consuming, and leave both patients and practices frustrated," says Doug Brown, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of DIA. "Endeavor is building the universal checkout for healthcare, starting with dental. Their platform doesn't just aggregate lenders; it intelligently routes patients to the best financing option while saving treatment coordinators countless hours. This is exactly the type of infrastructure-level innovation that creates lasting value for practices and better outcomes for patients."

"I grew up watching my family run dental practices, and the patient financing challenge has been broken for decades—practices juggling multiple lenders with disconnected systems, patients getting rejected and walking away from needed care, and treatment coordinators spending hours on applications instead of building relationships," says Kunal Mehta, CEO and Co-Founder of Endeavor Health. "What makes DIA invaluable isn't just their capital, it's that they've been inside the operations of the largest DSOs in the country. They understand the unique challenges facing our company, the site-level rollout complexities, and how decision-making actually happens in multi-site dental organizations. That operational fluency will compress our sales cycles and help us build features that DSOs will actually adopt, not just demo well. We're building the universal checkout for healthcare, and DIA is helping us establish that standard in dental first."

"I'm excited to support Kunal, Jeremiah, and the Endeavor team as they scale a solution the dental industry desperately needs," says Kate Orr, Principal at DIA. "The team's deep expertise in both healthcare financing and venture-backed growth positions them uniquely to execute on an ambitious product roadmap. Endeavor is building a comprehensive financial operating system for dental practices, and I look forward to working alongside this exceptional team to help them become the category leader in multi-site healthcare financing."

Jeremiah Cole, Co-Founder and Head of Lender Partnerships, shares, “Endeavor has built a platform to work collaboratively with lenders. No lender is built to cover the full spectrum, and distribution has become increasingly competitive. Endeavor works with lenders to identify practices where certain lenders will perform best and has built the rails to offer AI-based matching."
