Forta, an AI-enabled, family-powered autism therapy company, closed a $55 million Series A funding round led by Insight Partners, with participation from several high-profile investors. The company combines AI and LLMs with a 50-hour training course for parents to provide personalized ABA therapy for autism. They plan to use the funds to grow their therapy practice, continue research, and develop clinical algorithms. The CDC reports that one in 36 children have autism spectrum disorder, and several digital health companies focus on providing autism care, including SpectrumAi, Sprout, and Floreo. These companies offer tools, in-home assessments, therapy, and virtual reality programs to help individuals with autism improve their skills.
