Healia’s $14M Series A expands a Columbus benefits business
Sourced news brief · See the publication date above and original source below.
Healia announced $18 million in total funding on July 28, 2026, including a $14 million Series A led by 111° West Capital. The Columbus company’s backers also include Y Combinator, First Round, Pioneer, GoAhead, and North Coast.
Healia focuses on spousal health-benefit reimbursement. Its platform helps households compare coverage options and supports eligible reimbursements when an employee uses a spouse’s health plan. The company said it is hiring in Columbus across engineering, sales, operations, and leadership.
The distinction in the funding figures matters: the Series A is $14 million; $18 million is cumulative funding. For the regional ecosystem, the announcement combines new capital with a local hiring story. Follow-up reporting should examine employer participation and the employee experience, rather than treating projected savings as established outcomes.
