Graici, an AI data company focused on Medicaid renewal and redetermination, has raised $7.5 million in a Series A round led by Santé Ventures. As part of the financing, Santé Founding Managing Director Dr. Joe Cunningham joined Graici’s board.
The company says it has developed an Adaptive Data Wallet powered by a data network designed to acquire, secure, and activate “whole life” information, spanning health, economic, and personal data. Graici’s platform automates Medicaid renewals and redeterminations to help eligible individuals maintain coverage while providing state governments and health plans with verified intelligence to improve outcomes and reduce operational friction.
Graici was founded by Steve McHale, who previously co-founded Explorys, a healthcare big data company acquired by IBM. Graici positions its approach as consent-based and security-oriented, using agentic AI to assemble and activate data with an emphasis on accountable action.

I’ve worked with Steve McHale for 20 years, and he is one of the rare founders capable of delivering transformational impact at scale.”
