Cancer is hard. Navigating the system shouldn’t make it harder.

Early 2020

Mission sparked

Inspired by decades of experience in oncology, industry veterans came together to rethink the way the cancer journey is experienced by a person with a vision to bring together all parties, including the oncologist, the payer, and most importantly, the patient. They began developing a new business model that aligns financial incentives across the cancer care continuum, paving the way for every patient to receive the dedicated support they need. The Founding Team flew to New York for the first investor meetings the week before the world shut down for the Covid-19 pandemic. 

2021

First partnership launch and early pilot programs

The company formally launched with $22M in venture capital funding, led by Andreessen Horowitz, AlleyCorp, and Frist Cressey Ventures, to offer oncology care navigation services in partnership with payers and early Thyme Care Oncology Partner (TCOP) oncologists. Thyme Care began to support members in early 2021, launching initial partnerships and pilot programs to validate the model. These efforts demonstrated meaningful impact on patient experience and care coordination.

2023

Strategic growth and outcomes focus 

Thyme Care raised its $60 million Series B financing round and expanded operations into multiple states, deepening partnerships with health plans, ACOs, and risk-bearing providers. Thyme Care’s focus shifted to demonstrating outcomes, including a nearly 20% reduction in total cost of care for navigated members compared to a control group. In addition, the American Oncology Network (AON), one of the largest networks of community oncology practices, partnered with Thyme Care to participate in the Enhancing Oncology Model, a new value-based cancer care framework launched by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. 

2025

National scale and ecosystem integration  

Thyme Care reaches national scale through significant partnerships with the nation’s leading health plans, including Humana and Aetna, cementing it position as the leading value-based cancer care enabler. Now available to members in all 50 states, the company tripled the size of its multidisciplinary care team, launched a comprehensive survivorship program, and expanded to meet patients across multiple sites of service. With new technology-enabled navigation features, Thyme Care streamlined provider workflows and personalized care at scale.
