In the spring 2023, the company sold its self-insured employer business, affiliated physician group and a software license to Transcarent in a deal worth up to $100 million. 98point6 Technologies purchased the remainder of asynchronous telehealth provider Bright.md's assets for an undisclosed sum in a deal split of 45% cash and 55% equity, including Bright.md's commercial assets, 16 customer contracts as well as the firm's sales and customer success teams. This B2B2C model enables health systems to deploy AI-powered virtual care without building from scratch.
Cyborg Score Rationale
98point6 successfully pivoted from direct-to-consumer care delivery to enterprise software licensing, acquiring complementary assets (Bright.md) to expand platform capabilities. However, the company's private status limits visibility into current financial performance and runway. The 2023 asset sale signaled capital constraints, though the $30.7M funding round suggests ongoing investor confidence in the software business model.
