Upside, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida company, has raised $20 million in Series A funding to grow a housing stability platform built specifically for healthcare. The round closed on June 25, 2026.

Aquiline led the financing alongside Flare Capital Partners, with existing investors 645 Ventures, Freestyle Capital, Triple Impact Capital, and Techstars also taking part.

The company frames housing as a healthcare problem. Its leadership previously built well-known healthcare businesses including MDLive, Papa, and Virta Health, and Upside positions itself as the only nationally scalable housing stability platform purpose-built for the sector. Housing instability, it argues, is one of healthcare’s most expensive and most addressable gaps, with health plans absorbing an estimated $9.3 billion in inpatient costs nationally.

Upside reports strong early results, with more than 90 percent enrollment, over half of members stabilized within 90 days, and up to 4x return on investment within 12 months, alongside high member satisfaction. Over the past 18 months it has secured partnerships with more than 17 national, state, and regional health plans, and now supports four of the largest national payers.

The new capital will fund national expansion, build out go-to-market work across health plans and employers, and deepen investment in the company’s AI-supported delivery platform.
