Granit raises €5M pre-seed to free healthcare professionals from administrative work using AI agents

Granit (Paris) has raised €5 million in a pre-seed round to automate administrative work for healthcare professionals. The round comprises €3.5 million in equity, led by Seedcamp, with participation from Drysdale Ventures, Re:rail, Purple, Cleo, and Kima — alongside €1.5 million in non-dilutive financing including Bpifrance. Founded in March 2026 by Jenny Mansour and Corneille Maréchal, the company has already deployed its AI agents at more than 250 healthcare facilities in France. The round will fund development of new healthcare verticals, reinforce technical and commercial teams, and begin expansion across Europe.

The administrative burden healthcare professionals cannot shed

A survey of more than 1,000 healthcare workers across five European countries, including France, found that 82% believe administrative tasks reduce the time available for patient care, and 65% spend more than an hour a day on them. The tasks themselves — billing, insurance claim follow-ups, rejection corrections, coverage verifications — are not complex in isolation, but they are fragmented: they require navigating between patient record software, specialty tools, health insurer portals, the Assurance Maladie platform, and accounting systems. For most healthcare teams, this means manual work that scales badly as caseloads grow.

Granit's approach is to run AI agents that connect directly to the software and external platforms a healthcare team already uses, and execute those tasks on their behalf. This avoids the system integration projects that derail most health-tech deployments. The company says its agents can reduce administrative time by up to 90%, with a setup time of a few days and no heavy technical integration required.

Felix Martinez, Partner at Seedcamp, frames the investment case: "Repetitive, fragmented administrative tasks take far too much time from already overstretched healthcare workers. Granit's agents take that work on directly in the tools teams already use, and free up time for patient care. Jenny and the team bring rare expertise at the intersection of health policy and technology, and we are delighted to lead their first round of funding."

Eight months, 250 facilities

Granit was founded in March 2026 and announced its first funding round in November — eight months later, with more than 250 healthcare facilities already using the product. That deployment velocity, without a heavy sales motion or integration overhead, is the most legible signal in the round. For a pre-seed stage company, the customer count is the argument.

The company targets expansion to other European countries. French healthcare administration is specific — Assurance Maladie, CMU-C, the specific rejection codes of French mutuelles — but the structural problem (administrative fragmentation, manual workarounds, software-agnostic agents) is not. The question is how much of the French stack transfers to Germany, Spain, or the UK, and how fast the team can replicate the low-friction deployment model in systems it has not yet mapped.
