Sudha Shankar's Company Details
Lark was founded in 2011 on a mission to provide the highest standards of personalized and compassionate care to all in need. Our founder, Julia Hu, recognized early that live physician resources simply could not cover all of those in need of chronic condition prevention and management. To this end, Lark spent six years in AI and tech R&D developing a conversational AI coaching program for the nation's most prevalent and expensive chronic conditions. Lark's AI-driven Diabetes Prevention Program received full CDC recognition in 2018, and Lark deployed specialized programs for diabetes, hypertension, and general wellness soon after. COVID has only further highlighted the need for scalable, accessible, and consumer-centric solutions for chronic condition prevention and management. This more broadly recognized need has reinforced our ongoing efforts to reach more members, support partners' digital-first strategies, and modernize healthcare operations -- all with the goal of delivering population-level outcomes and savings. As a testament to our scalability and market trust in our AI-driven model, we recently closed a $100 million Series D, our workforce has nearly doubled in the past year, and we are now contracted to manage over 30 million members.
