# Hike Medical Raises $22.5 Million Across Seed and Series A Funding

> Hike Medical has raised 22.5 million dollars across seed and Series A rounds, led by Max Altman of Saga Ventures. The startup is building a vertically integrated approach to prosthetics, combining AI software with manufacturing rather than focusing on a single slice of the process. Its system stitches together several steps that are usually handled separately: software agents to navigate insurance approvals, AI-powered measurements to capture a patient's needs, and 3D printing to produce the devices. The idea is to compress a slow, fragmented, paperwork-heavy process into something faster and more accessible. Prosthetics is a field where cost, custom fit, and insurance friction all stand between patients and care. By owning the pipeline from digital capture through manufacturing, Hike is betting that AI can make custom medical devices cheaper and quicker to deliver, a concrete example of applied AI reaching into physical, real-world health care.
