Huli is a HealthTech company founded in 2012 and headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica, that provides SaaS products to connect healthcare professionals, hospitals, insurance companies, and patients across Latin America.[1][3][6] It offers tools for appointment booking, electronic health records (EHR), billing, patient communications, and telemedicine, serving over 10,000 active healthcare professionals and enabling efficient digital care delivery.[2][3] The platform solves fragmented healthcare communication by integrating video consultations and administrative tools, achieving 20X growth since the pandemic while raising $20.71M in funding, with the latest $5.5M round about a year ago.[1][2]
Huli was founded in 2012 (with some sources noting 2013 for HuliLabs) in Costa Rica by a team including CTO Steve Vega, initially focusing on software for independent healthcare professionals, medical centers, hospitals, and patients.[1][3][4] The idea emerged from addressing operational inefficiencies in Latin America's healthcare sector, starting with face-to-face patient consultations and management tools.[2] A pivotal moment came during the 2020 pandemic, when clinic shutdowns forced rapid pivots to telemedicine; Huli integrated reliable video calls, scaling from no virtual consultations to a fully embedded solution that supported explosive growth and expansion into Mexico and seven other countries.[2][6] Early traction built through this crisis response, evolving into a comprehensive ecosystem now used by 110 employees across Central America.[3][4]
Huli rides the digital health transformation wave in Latin America, where pandemic-driven demand accelerated telemedicine adoption amid clinic closures and underserved populations.[2] Timing aligns with rising internet penetration and regulatory shifts favoring virtual care, enabling Huli's expansion from Costa Rica to eight countries and a network of 10,000+ professionals.[2][6] Market forces like healthcare fragmentation, insurer needs, and doctor shortages favor its ecosystem approach, outpacing competitors by integrating video, EHR, and AI for end-to-end solutions.[1][2] It influences the ecosystem by standardizing digital tools, boosting efficiency for independent practitioners and networks, and paving the way for AI-enhanced care in emerging markets.[2]
Huli's momentum positions it for continued dominance in LatAm HealthTech, with AI integrations automating admin tasks and unlocking data-driven insights to further scale its 10,000+ professional network.[2] Trends like AI personalization, regional telehealth regulation, and ecosystem expansions will shape its path, potentially driving acquisitions or deeper insurer partnerships amid $20M+ funding runway.[1][2] Its influence may evolve from crisis responder to indispensable platform, redefining accessible care and inspiring similar models across emerging markets—building on its pandemic-fueled 20X growth to connect even more of Latin America's healthcare ecosystem.[2][6]
