Forecast Labs has worked with leading fintech and health companies such as Public.com, Nurx, and Acorns. Current investors TTV Capital and The Family Fund also participated in the round, along with new investor, B Capital.

洛杉磯,2024 年 5 月 6 日 /PRNewswire/ — Flossy是一家爲所有人提供高質量、負擔得起的牙科護理服務的公司,今天宣佈已完成新一輪股權融資 預測實驗室,康卡斯特NBCUniversal旗下的消費者風險投資集團。Forecast Labs曾與領先的金融科技和健康公司合作,例如Public.com、Nurx和Acorns。目前的投資者TTV Capital和家庭基金也參與了本輪融資,新投資者B Capital也參與了本輪融資。

Flossy is the first pay-as-you-go discount dental solution that connects patients with and without dental insurance to a highly rated dentist in their area, with discounts on all services, including orthodontics and cosmetics. According to the American Dental Association, one-third of adults aged 19 to 64 don't have any dental benefits, and this number is even higher for seniors, 70% of whom don't have insurance. When dental issues arise, these groups historically had to choose between paying 100% of expensive procedure fees out of pocket or forgo treatment altogether, which can lead to even more health problems like heart attacks and strokes. A recent study showed that patients who go to the emergency room to treat preventable dental conditions cost taxpayers, hospitals, and the government about $2 billion a year. Flossy is giving people a way to receive care from a high-quality dentist, for an affordable price.

Flossy是第一個按使用量付費的折扣牙科解決方案,它將有或沒有牙科保險的患者與所在地區評價很高的牙醫聯繫起來,所有服務均有折扣,包括正畸和化妝品。 根據美國牙科協會的說法,在19至64歲的成年人中,有三分之一沒有任何牙科補助,而老年人的這個數字甚至更高,他們中有70%沒有保險。當出現牙科問題時,這些群體歷來必須在自掏腰包支付100%的昂貴手術費或完全放棄治療之間做出選擇,這可能會導致更多的健康問題,例如心臟病發作和中風。最近的 學習 結果表明,去急診室治療可預防的牙科疾病的患者每年給納稅人、醫院和政府造成約20億美元的損失。Flossy 爲人們提供了一種以實惠的價格接受高質量牙醫護理的方法。

"With dental insurance plans being confusing and costly, and tens of millions going without any coverage at all, far too many Americans are having to choose between their health and their financial wellbeing," said Miles Beckett, co-founder and CEO of Flossy. "Our country's dental problem is only going to increase as the population ages. In just a few years, for the first time ever, there will be more senior citizens in the country than children under 18. To meet this rising demand, the nation's dental spending is forecasted to hit $230 billion by 2030, up from $165 billion in 2022. With this funding and partnership from Forecast Labs, Flossy will be able to help even more people receive and afford the quality dental care they deserve."

Flossy聯合創始人兼首席執行官邁爾斯·貝克特說:“由於牙科保險計劃混亂且昂貴,數千萬人根本沒有任何保險,太多的美國人不得不在健康和財務狀況之間做出選擇。”“隨着人口老齡化,我們國家的牙科問題只會增加。在短短几年內,該國的老年人人數將首次超過18歲以下的兒童。爲了滿足這種不斷增長的需求,預計到2030年,該國的牙科支出將從2022年的1,650億美元增加到2300億美元。有了Forecast Labs的這筆資金和合作夥伴關係,Flossy將能夠幫助更多的人獲得和負擔他們應得的優質牙科護理。”

Flossy currently operates in seven states including Arizona, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC. With this investment, Forecast Labs will promote Flossy in its current and future regions via TV and streaming advertising to raise awareness of Flossy's affordable and accessible solution for dental care. This past year, Flossy expanded into five states and launched "Flossy for All," a version of its platform for people with dental insurance, to help them pay for the high-cost care that their dental plans don't cover, including cosmetic procedures.

Flossy 目前在七個州開展業務,包括亞利桑那州、新澤西州、賓夕法尼亞州和華盛頓特區。通過這項投資,Forecast Labs將通過電視和流媒體廣告在當前和未來的地區推廣Flossy,以提高人們對Flossy經濟實惠且易於使用的牙科護理解決方案的認識。去年,Flossy將業務擴展到五個州,推出了 “Flossy for All”,這是其面向牙科保險人的平台版本,以幫助他們支付牙科計劃未涵蓋的高成本醫療費用,包括整容手術。

"Dental insurance is broken and in spite of paying hefty insurance premiums, far too many people are left with unexpectedly high out-of-pocket costs for dental procedures. We are really excited about how Flossy has built a scalable and patient friendly business that can help reduce the cost of dental care, for millions of Americans, regardless of their insurance status." Said Arjun Kapur, Managing Partner at Forecast Labs.

“牙科保險已經失效,儘管支付了巨額的保險費,但仍有太多的人的牙科手術自付費用出人意料地高。我們對Flossy如何建立可擴展且對患者友好的業務感到非常興奮,該業務可以幫助數百萬美國人降低牙科保健成本,無論他們的保險狀況如何。”預測實驗室管理合夥人阿瓊·卡普爾說。
