Cova on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Cova is an AI-native home care agency, licensed in Michigan. We serve Medicaid, LTCI, and private-pay patients; we pay caregivers the highest base rate in the state; and we help unpaid family caregivers get paid through programs they didn't know they qualified for. Our entire operation runs on AI agents, which means less overhead and more value passed directly to the people doing the real work. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "You're already caring for your mom, your dad, your neighbor. Medicaid can pay you for it, at the top caregiver rate. We handle the paperwork. Now in Michigan." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Jordan Ibe, Founder: Co-founder @ Cova (YC S26). Prev Palantir, Uber, Cornell CS & Stats. Building infrastructure to support millions of caregiving families. (source)
  • Ansh Tandon, Founder: Co-founder @ Cova (YC S26). Prev Palantir, UPenn Bioengineering BSE & MSE. We're building the infrastructure to support millions of family caregivers. (source)
