CareLumi

Founded by Shai Basys and Claire Chen

Software that handles the paperwork a doctor or a therapist needs finished before they can legally treat patients and bill insurance, and then keeps it current.

Where they are now

Four named customers and an open API.

Selling to outpatient clinics and digital health platforms, with API access opened to platform partners in August 2026. Updated September 2026.

What they do

Credentialing is months of forms standing between a hired clinician and their first paid appointment. CareLumi automates the filing and the renewals, and its engine logs every automated action for review and hands off to a person when its confidence is low.

Who it's for

Outpatient healthcare organizations. The site names medical practices, digital health platforms, behavioral health, therapy and rehab clinics, primary care and staffing firms.

What's different

It's auditable by design. Every step the software takes is logged, which matters when the output is a regulatory filing.


What they've done, with sources
Back a founder

Every Fifth Star company gets the same $25,000 check.

Contributions go into the fund that writes them. If CareLumi exits one day, our share comes back to the fund and goes out again, which is what makes us an evergreen fund.
