## About

Founded in 2022 and based in New York, US, Anterior, Inc., formerly known as CoHelm, Inc., operates as a developer of AI-powered tools that offer administrative tasks such as managing decisions, records, and treatment in the healthcare system. The company was co-founded by Abdel Mahmoud (CEO) and Zahid Mahmood. In February 2026, Anterior, Inc. raised USD 40 million in venture funding from Kinnevik, FPV Ventures, New Enterprise Associates, and Sequoia Capital.

The company provides nurses with technology that handles decision-making, documentation, and patient care for many patients each week. This allows nurses to focus their time on improving patient outcomes instead of administrative tasks.

Additionally, Anterior, Inc.'s interoperability engine facilitates the exchange of data with any EHR or EMR system.
