Syntax 2023: Better VBC collaboration has begun.

It’s been an awesome year at Syntax. Our 2023 focus was to launch and land and I’m proud to say, we did just that: 

• launched Syntax–the first ever two sided platform to accelerate VBC contracting—with $7.5M in seed funding that gives us a healthy runway and supports our continued growth, and 

• landed four clients—two digital health innovators, a large provider group, and a large healthcare system. 

This year, Syntax - 

Made solid platform progress: 

• added negotiation view, allowing users to dynamically propose and counter-propose contract terms with financial impacts automatically calculated

• achieved 100% HIPAA compliance

• completed peer review by Wakely Consulting Group actuaries

• began onboarding new clients

Garnered industry recognition:
