Company profile
researched Aug 2026Solv Health was founded in San Francisco by Heather Mirjahangir Fernandez (CEO) and Daniele Farnedi (CTO), who previously worked together as senior executives at Trulia β Fernandez as SVP/GM of a business unit generating nearly $200M in annual revenue, and Farnedi as CTO overseeing engineering and data science β through Trulia's 2015 acquisition by Zillow for $2.5B. Fernandez has said she started Solv after seeing how consumer technology transformed real estate's opacity around pricing and inventory, and wanting to bring similar transparency (same-day availability, wait times, and cost) to healthcare access. Stephen Rossi, also a Trulia/Zillow alum (VP of Marketing at Trulia, VP of Products at Zillow), joined as a founding team member and later became Chief Revenue Officer.
Solv built a two-sided marketplace: a free consumer app/website where patients can search and book same-day appointments at urgent care clinics, pediatric urgent care, telemedicine providers, labs, and other services, alongside a suite of provider-facing tools (online scheduling, digital patient intake, real-time patient-queue management, EHR integrations, and automated payments) sold to urgent care chains, health systems, and independent practices to help them fill capacity and modernize front-desk operations. Early product milestones included adding video telemedicine booking (2018) and EHR data-sharing/results features (2019), plus a 2019 partnership with Calibrater Health to bundle patient-experience software for urgent care centers.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly accelerated Solv's growth and public profile: online scheduling usage on the platform reportedly grew from roughly 22% of doctor visits in March 2020 to nearly 60% by August 2020, telemedicine bookings jumped from about 9,000 in all of 2019 to roughly 700,000 between March and October 2020, and the company said it helped facilitate over 2 million COVID-19 test bookings. This growth underpinned a $27M funding round (led by Acrew Capital, with participation from MultiCare Health System, Light Street Capital, and existing investors Benchmark and Greylock Partners) announced in November 2020, bringing total funding to roughly $50M at that point. In early 2021 Solv launched 'Solv for Vaccines,' a scheduling and logistics product to help direct Americans to COVID-19 vaccine appointments, and it expanded EHR integrations (Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen) and queue-management features through mid-2021.
Business model
Two-sided marketplace: consumer-facing free app/website for booking care, monetized primarily via SaaS/subscription and per-booking or membership fees charged to provider partners (urgent care operators, health systems, labs) for scheduling, patient acquisition, and practice-management tools.
B2B SaaS and marketplace fees paid by healthcare provider partners for platform access, patient acquisition/booking volume, and EHR/workflow integration tools; consumer app is free to patients.

Profile (continued)
In September 2021, Solv announced a $45M Series C led by Acrew Capital and Corner Ventures, with continued participation from Greylock Partners and Benchmark, to expand its national provider network, cost-transparency features, and consumer offerings; the company also formed an Industry Advisory Board including leaders from Banner Health, MultiCare Health System, and former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin. By this point Solv said roughly 1 in 16 Americans had used the platform to schedule care, and that over 100 million Americans lived within five miles of a same-day appointment bookable through Solv. As of the company's own current marketing claims, Solv says its network now covers more than 210 million Americans within five miles of care, has powered over 100 million patient visits cumulatively, and maintains a 4.9-star consumer app rating across 25,000+ reviews, with roughly half of patients seen within two hours of booking. Notable named provider partners referenced on Solv's site include AFC (American Family Care), Bon Secours, Carbon Health, ConvenientMD, GoHealth Urgent Care, Indigo Health, NextCare, Urgent Team, Yale New Haven Health, and ZoomCare.
Solv's board has included Benchmark general partner Bill Gurley, Greylock's James Slavet, and Theresia Gouw (founding partner of Acrew Capital, formerly of Aspect Ventures). Third-party aggregators (Crunchbase, Owler) indicate Solv has raised across roughly five funding rounds and cite additional/more recent investor activity β including a listing for YZi Labs (the rebranded former Binance Labs) as a lead investor in a more recent, publicly unconfirmed round β that could not be independently corroborated with a primary source at the time of this research and should be treated as low-confidence pending verification. Competing directly in the online healthcare-scheduling/access space are Zocdoc, PatientPop (part of Tebra), and DocASAP, among others.
