Insight for the twilight: Inspiren raises $100M to expand AI-powered senior care platform

Inspiren has raised $100 million in Series B funding led by Insight Partners, a global software investor, to expand its AI-powered senior living platform nationwide. The investment accelerates the company’s mission to address critical challenges in senior care, including rising acuity levels, staffing shortages, and increasing demands from residents and families through a unified ecosystem that integrates safety monitoring, care planning, and emergency response.

What you should know: Inspiren has built the senior living industry’s first complete AI-powered ecosystem, launched in March 2025, that unifies multiple care functions into a single platform.

• The company’s total funding now reaches $155 million, with participation from Avenir, Primary Venture Partners, Scale Venture Partners, Story Ventures, Third Prime, and Studio VC.
• Unlike fragmented point solutions, Inspiren combines resident safety, care planning, staffing, and emergency response into one seamless AI-driven system.
• The platform recently enhanced Inspiren HQ with Inspiren Intelligence, an advanced analytics engine providing real-time clinical and operational insights.

Proven impact: Communities using Inspiren are seeing immediate, measurable improvements in resident care and safety outcomes.

• Ascent Living Communities: Within hours of implementation, the system detected and confirmed a fall that a resident had denied, enabling timely stroke diagnosis and medical intervention.
• Heritage Communities: Achieved an 86% reduction in bedroom-related falls with injury across Inspiren-enabled facilities.
• Arrow Senior Living: Successfully deployed across 27 communities in six states, jointly receiving the 2024 McKnight’s Technology Award with Inspiren and earning 2025 finalist recognition.

Rapid growth trajectory: Inspiren has more than doubled its customer base within the past year while significantly strengthening its leadership team.

• New executive hires include Mike Hsu (COO, ex-Anduril, Peloton), Dominique Simoneau-Ritchie (CTO, ex-Affinity, Wealthsimple, Shopify), and Lynne Hamilton (CPO, ex-Black Crow AI, Intent).
• The company also added Brian Gwiazdowski as Head of Finance (ex-Primary Venture Partners, Vista Equity Partners) and Skye Peckenpaugh as Head of Marketing (ex-Flock Safety, VTS).

Why this matters: The senior living industry faces unprecedented challenges as the population ages, with operators struggling to meet rising care demands while managing staffing shortages and increased resident expectations.

What they’re saying: Leadership emphasizes the urgent need for integrated solutions in senior care.

• “Senior living faces unprecedented challenges. Yet, the industry has lacked a fully integrated, enterprise-ready solution,” said Michael Wang, Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of Inspiren. “Inspiren was created to address these challenges and more, combining technology with compassionate care.”
• “By combining resident safety, clinical insights, and staff efficiency into one intelligent system, Inspiren is driving both immediate impact and long-term value for senior living,” said Jeff Horing, recent Inspiren Board appointee and Co-Founder and Managing Director at Insight Partners.

The big picture: Founded in 2016 by former Green Beret and cardiothoracic nurse Michael Wang, Inspiren represents a privacy-first approach to senior care technology that enhances resident dignity while improving clinical outcomes, staff efficiency, and family communication across communities nationwide.
