OneVillage

OneVillage is a Washington, D.C.-based healthcare technology company that delivers supportive care — services surrounding medical treatment rather than the treatment itself — through a digital navigation and coaching platform. The company organizes its offering around three pillars: medical concierge (finding and scheduling in-network care, nurse navigation), insurance navigation (help with commercial insurance, Medicare and Medicaid, and benefits issues), and specialized coaching delivered on demand across areas such as sleep, nutrition, mental health, financial wellness, elder care and menopause. The company states it provides access to licensed professionals across 35-plus specialties, alongside one-to-one coaching, facilitated group support, expert seminars and condition-specific navigation.

The platform is designed to serve both routine wellness goals and complex health journeys involving conditions such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease, addressing the emotional, logistical and financial burdens that accompany medical care. Earlier public materials describe a consumer-facing product built around verified medical content, care-planning tools, community groups and specialty products for people facing life-altering diagnoses, positioned at that time as free to use. The current positioning centers on an employer-sold benefit that also supports employees' family members, with a stated intent to expand into health system and direct-to-consumer channels.

Founding story

Founder and CEO Ashley Yesayan built OneVillage following her own experience with cancer in 2017, which she has said exposed the unmet need for supportive care in the U.S. and the cost barriers that keep it from being widely available. Before founding the company she spent roughly 15 years as a venture capital investor working with companies including Alarm.com, TemperPack and CustomInk, managed new business launches at Red Ventures, and worked in the M&A group at Wells Fargo.

Business model

OneVillage sells its navigation and coaching platform to employers as an employee benefit, distributed in part through insurance and benefits intermediaries including Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Marsh and OneDigital. As of July 2025 the company said it was completing credentialing, licensing and contracting of its provider network with major U.S. insurance carriers and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services so that services could be reimbursed and offered through health systems and directly to consumers at no cost to patients or caregivers.

Revenue is generated from employer and benefits-channel contracts for the platform, with a stated plan to add reimbursable, payer- and CMS-contracted delivery through health systems and direct-to-consumer channels.

Traction

Company-reported figures include employee engagement above 80%, 95% client retention and an average user session rating of 4.9 out of 5. Published client case studies cite engagement rates exceeding 45% at one employer and 25% first-year engagement at another, 93% of employees reporting improved morale within a quarter, 92% saying the service improved their ability to manage healthcare needs, 15% of employees extending support to a family member, and 95% of members reporting they learned something in a session. The service is available as an employee benefit through Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Marsh and OneDigital.

Latest developments

On July 9, 2025, OneVillage announced the close of a pre-seed extension including AARP, Marc Katz, Ron and Cyndi Gula, and John Neeson, taking total funding to $1.5 million, with prior backing from Techstars and Third Prime. The proceeds are directed at credentialing, licensing and carrier/CMS contracting to enable reimbursable delivery through health systems and direct-to-consumer channels. The company also states it is hiring.
