## History and founding
Andrew Kress and Andrew Goldberg started HealthVerity in Philadelphia in 2014. Kress had previously built one of the largest linked de-identified healthcare data assets in the country at SDI Health, growing it to more than 600 employees before [IMS Health](https://www.edgepedia.org/ims-health) acquired the business in 2011; HealthVerity applied the same linking idea to a broader set of data suppliers.[1](https://yespress.io/healthverity) The company's first announced institutional round was a $7.1 million Series A led by Flare Capital Partners and Greycroft Partners. With that round, Michael Greeley of Flare Capital, Rachel Winokur (an advisor to Greycroft), and Matt Wallach, co-founder and president of [Veeva Systems](https://www.edgepedia.org/veeva-systems), joined the board of directors.[3](https://healthverity.com/news/healthverity-completes-series-a-financing-of-7-1-million/)
## Products and technology: the IPGE platform
HealthVerity's platform aggregates claims, prescription, laboratory, and electronic medical record (EMR) data from more than 30 national suppliers, covering more than 340 million de-identified individuals, according to the company's own profile materials.[1](https://yespress.io/healthverity) The four-part IPGE discipline describes how the data moves: Identity resolves which records from different sources belong to the same person; Privacy keeps that person de-identified throughout; [Governance](https://www.edgepedia.org/governance) enforces who is allowed to see what; and Exchange delivers the result to the licensee.[1](https://yespress.io/healthverity)
The company offers a self-service cloud platform through which customers can discover, license, and build custom patient cohorts, a licensing-based revenue model.[1](https://yespress.io/healthverity) HealthVerity says its ecosystem supports applications in clinical development, commercial strategy, regulatory decision-making, and public health.[4](https://www.healthcareittoday.com/2026/05/18/healthverity-completes-acquisition-of-symphony-health-marking-a-new-era-for-the-healthcare-data-industry/) These scale and compliance figures come from the company's own descriptions; independent verification is not available in the sources retrieved.
## Funding by the numbers
The company's announced venture rounds, as compiled by Whiteford Research's Biobase, were: Series A of $7.1 million (April 2016), Series B of $10 million (May 2017), Series C of $25 million (April 3, 2019), and Series D of $100 million (June 28, 2021), the last with participation from Durable Capital Partners, Flare Capital Partners, Foresite Capital, and Greycroft.[3](https://healthverity.com/news/healthverity-completes-series-a-financing-of-7-1-million/) • [2](http://biobase.whitefordresearch.com/companies/healthverity)
A Series E of $112.37 million at a $977.03 million post-money valuation, dated May 8, 2026, appears on the Forge private-market platform with undisclosed investors; no company press release or SEC filing retrieved confirms it, so it should be treated as database-reported and unverified.[2](http://biobase.whitefordresearch.com/companies/healthverity)
## The Symphony Health acquisition and recent developments
On May 8, 2026, HealthVerity announced a definitive agreement to acquire Symphony Health Solutions Corporation, a commercial healthcare data business formerly part of [ICON plc](https://www.edgepedia.org/icon-irish-company) (NASDAQ: ICLR); the transaction closed and completion was announced on May 18, 2026.[5](https://healthverity.com/news/heathverity-acquires-symphony-health/) • [4](https://www.healthcareittoday.com/2026/05/18/healthverity-completes-acquisition-of-symphony-health-marking-a-new-era-for-the-healthcare-data-industry/) Chief Executive Officer Andrew Kress said the deal would create "the nation's leading patient-centric real-world and commercial data ecosystem within a privacy-safe, modern infrastructure."[5](https://healthverity.com/news/heathverity-acquires-symphony-health/) The company describes the combined ecosystem as connecting pharmacy, medical claims, labs, and EHR data in what it calls the largest single source of U.S. healthcare data.[5](https://healthverity.com/news/heathverity-acquires-symphony-health/)
In 2025, the company announced work with [Recursion](https://www.edgepedia.org/recursion) applying HealthVerity real-world data to clinical trial design and analytics.[2](http://biobase.whitefordresearch.com/companies/healthverity) The sources retrieved do not document any lawsuits, privacy controversies, or regulatory scrutiny of the company, nor do they provide market-size figures or a substantive comparison with competitors such as IQVIA, Datavant, Komodo Health, or Truveta.
