About
Parallel is a Paris, France-based AI healthcare administration platform — backed by Y Combinator (W24) with $3.5 million in seed funding in April 2025 led by Frst with Y Combinator — providing hospitals and healthcare providers with vertical AI agents that automate time-consuming administrative tasks, starting with medical coding, using generative AI that streamlines hospital operations, improves billing accuracy, and reduces the administrative workload on medical staff — allowing clinicians to focus on patient care rather than documentation and coding compliance. Founded in 2024 by Paul Lafforgue (Meta/McKinsey background) and Thomas Sohet (CTO), with Yago as a co-founder, Parallel's 6-person Paris team designs AI agents that adapt to real-world hospital environments and fragmented software stacks.
