Coral Care has raised $13 million in a Series A round to accelerate the expansion of its in-home pediatric therapy services nationwide. The funding was led by Haymaker Ventures, with participation from FCA Ventures and Peterson Ventures.
Additional investors in the round include Alleycorp, Reach Capital, Jefferson River Capital, Greymatter Capital, Mother Ventures, and Charge Ventures.
The company will use the new capital to support its national growth, including markets it recently launched in Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. With these additions, Coral Care now operates across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Texas, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, expanding access to insurance-covered, in-home pediatric therapy services for families across its growing footprint.
Founded in 2023 by Jen Wirt, Coral Care was created after Wirt experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating therapy services for her daughter, including long waitlists, insurance complexities, and limited in-network availability. The company aims to reduce those systemic barriers by embedding therapy services directly within children’s homes.
Coral Care connects families with licensed Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Physical Therapists who provide care in-home. Services address a range of developmental needs, including speech and language development, feeding support, motor coordination, sensory processing, and overall functional development. By delivering therapy within children’s natural environments, the company seeks to improve continuity of care and provide more context-driven support.
The company’s clinician network has grown to more than 400 licensed providers across its markets, reflecting increasing demand from both families seeking accessible services and therapists pursuing flexible practice models. According to Coral Care, families receiving therapy at home remain in care longer, with more than 75 percent continuing services beyond four months. The company also reports that its proprietary technology platform reduces administrative workload for clinicians by up to 15 hours per week through streamlined scheduling, documentation, billing, and credentialing processes.
With the new funding, Coral Care plans to continue expanding its clinician network, launch additional markets, and further invest in the technology infrastructure supporting its in-home care model.
