MiSalud Health Raises New Funding Round to Expand Bilingual Healthcare Platform

IGNIA Leads Round that Brings Total Investment to $18.3M

MiSalud Health, a bilingual AI-powered health platform making quality healthcare more accessible and affordable, announced today that IGNIA has led an investment round in the company. Redwood Ventures, Amplifica Capital, and existing investors Ulu Ventures and Magnify Ventures also participated in the round, along with MiSalud client Taylor Farms. Previous rounds also included participation from Lowercase Capital and Samsung Ventures.

Meeting Workers Where They Are

For many blue collar workers across North America, accessing healthcare has always meant choosing between missing work or missing care. MiSalud Health serves over 100,000 members by bringing healthcare directly to job sites and making it available through same-day video, phone, or SMS—all in Spanish and English.

The results speak to unmet need: MiSalud Health achieves 90%+ participation and over 50% engagement—more than ten times higher than competing solutions. By reducing emergency room visits and connecting patients with preventive care, MiSalud Health is lowering healthcare costs for both employees and employers while improving health outcomes.

AI That Amplifies Human Connection

MiSalud Health's approach pairs AI technology with cultural competency. Built on an open-sourced LLM and trained on hundreds of thousands of real patient consultations, MiSalud Health's proprietary AI assists health coaches and physicians in delivering more efficient, personalized care. The AI handles administrative tasks and optimizes health literacy, while the human connection builds the trust that comes from matching patients with providers who share their language and cultural context.

"MiSalud Health operates at the intersection of culture, health, and AI," says Bismarck Lepe, Co-founder and CEO. "AI is transforming how health professionals deliver care, but they can't be taken completely out of the loop. They are essential for building cultural connection and trust. With IGNIA's investment, we will scale across North America to make healthcare accessible and affordable for the communities who have and are being left behind by traditional healthcare."

Scaling Impact Across North America

"MiSalud Health was founded by world-class founders tackling one of the biggest problems in North America—healthcare accessibility," says Fabrice Serfati, partner at IGNIA. "At IGNIA, we believe in companies that seize opportunities on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. As our population ages, healthcare is becoming an unsustainable $10T problem. MiSalud Health has the ability to be at the center of lowering costs and increasing access—which benefits everyone."

The funding will enable MiSalud to expand to 20 new states and introduce additional services typically only offered in person, bringing the company closer to its vision of healthcare that works for every worker, regardless of employment status, insurance coverage, or language.

The funding will enable MiSalud to expand to 20 new states and introduce additional services typically only offered in person.
