Accelerating AI and Practice Workflow Expansion
Independent medical, dental, optometry, and veterinary practices frequently struggle with fragmented front-office operations—balancing disconnected phone systems, manual scheduling reminders, and standalone payment terminals.
Transitioning from the public market to private ownership provides Weave with the capital flexibility to accelerate long-term AI investments without quarterly public earnings pressure:
- Scaled Outpatient Footprint: Deployed across more than 40,000 customer locations, integrating directly with existing Practice Management Software (PMS) systems to synchronize patient messaging, scheduling, digital intake forms, and payment processing.
- Agentic Front-Desk Automation: Deepens investments in voice and conversational AI agents to automate patient intake, verify insurance eligibility, and streamline patient billing collections without requiring additional practice administrative staff.
- Payments & Revenue Cycle Integration: Expands embedded merchant processing and point-of-service billing tools to accelerate collection velocity for outpatient practices.
- Operational Continuity: Following the anticipated close in the fourth quarter of 2026, Weave will maintain its headquarters in Lehi, Utah, continue operating under the leadership of CEO Brett White, and delist its common stock from the New York Stock Exchange.
“Since our founding in 2008, we have built Weave for a customer most software companies overlook — the independent practices that care for patients in communities across the country. More than 40,000 locations rely on us today. Together with Francisco Partners, we will be able to enhance our ability to invest in our AI platform, deepen our payments and revenue cycle management capabilities, and further our vision of a better healthcare experience at every practice.”
— Brett White, Chief Executive Officer, Weave
