Linda AI, a healthtech startup focused on
automating front-desk operations for dental practices, has raised a €2.6
million pre-seed round led by 6 Degrees Capital.
The funding comes as voice AI adoption
accelerates across service-intensive industries. In healthcare, dentistry
stands out due to high call volumes, complex operations, and detailed
scheduling needs. Despite this reliance on phone-based booking, more than 25
per cent of inbound calls to dental practices go unanswered, leading to
significant lost revenue.
Linda AI addresses this challenge through
agentic workflow automation built specifically for dental practices. Its AI
agents integrate with existing practice management and communication systems to
manage administrative tasks end to end, including appointment scheduling,
confirmations, rescheduling, and patient follow-ups. The platform works
alongside front-desk teams, using voice, text, and system integrations when
staff capacity is constrained.
As a result, the company reports measurable
impact across its customer base. Approximately 25 per cent of new patient
bookings are generated through Linda AI, overall bookings increase by around 15
per cent, no-show rates decline by more than 30 per cent, and front-desk teams
save over 10 hours per week on administrative work. These outcomes support
improved revenue performance, better calendar utilisation, and greater
operational efficiency.
The
new funding will be used to expand the engineering team, strengthen the senior
sales function, and scale deployments across additional dental practices in
Ireland and the UK.
