Founders from the Department of Government Efficiency built SpecialOS, an AI-driven platform that automates tasks in Main Street service industries. Their first target is eldercare via Figure Health, where they’ve acquired a Texas provider, plan to open-source billing claims, and use efficiencies to boost nurse pay.
- Ex-DOGE founders launched SpecialOS to acquire and run Main Street service businesses with AI automation rather than just sell software to them
- First acquisition is Figure Health, a Texas home-health provider with 1,400 patients, where AI-driven billing/scheduling savings will fund higher nurse pay
- Figure Health will open-source its Medicare/Medicaid billing claims for public transparency
- Backed by a16z and a roster including Brian Armstrong (Coinbase), Shyam Sankar (Palantir), and several former DOGE officials, with plans to expand into other regulated, labor-intensive industries and eventually go public
