Benefits, pre-authorization rules, and claim status sit across all of them, and every payer does it differently. Revenue cycle teams spend their days chasing answers.
Every preventable denial is revenue a practice already earned.
We started Ventus in 2023 to turn all of it into one answer.
Ventus pulls benefits, pre-authorization, and claim status from EDI, payer portals, and AI phone calls, and hands teams a finished, sourced answer: in a dashboard, inside the systems they already use, or through an API. It powers RCM teams rather than replacing them.
Working with the teams behind 500+ offices.
“Ventus stands out from the noise in the AI and automation market. The team moves fast and consistently delivers real results.”
The team
Built by engineers from Meta, Amazon, UC Berkeley, and Carnegie Mellon
Founded in 2023 in San Mateo, California, Ventus pairs people who build AI systems with people who know how revenue cycle teams actually work.
The team has put AI into real operations before, from Meta AI to Fortune 500 deployments: legacy systems, real-world exceptions, and the change that comes with them.
Leadership
Peter Qian
Co-founder & CEO
Peter brings a background in AI, robotics, and enterprise deployment to healthcare. He began his career at Meta AI and later led engineering at Covariant, where he helped Fortune 500 companies bring AI-powered robotics into their operations. That experience shaped his approach to deploying technology: navigating legacy systems, handling real-world exceptions, and guiding organizational change. He co-founded Ventus to apply those lessons to healthcare’s payment challenges, reducing the work of getting providers paid so more resources can go toward delivering care.
Vincent Lu
Co-founder & CTO
Vincent brings a deep background in AI research and production systems to healthcare. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon’s Language Technologies Institute, where his multimodal AI research was published at ACL, NAACL, and ICCV and has been cited more than 1,000 times. He later joined Midjourney as a Research Engineer working on multilingual and multimodal generative AI. He co-founded Ventus to bring that expertise to healthcare, leading the AI-native platform that turns fragmented payer data into reliable answers and actions for providers.
