ClinicGlide Raises Six Figures from NBIF and TLT for Healthcare AI

Fredericton’s newest digital-health cheque is for the front desk, not the radiology suite.

ClinicGlide Technologies raised a six-figure pre-seed co-led by the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation and TLT East Ventures, Entrevestor reported on October 26, 2025. NBIF put in $200,000; TLT did not disclose its share. The money is meant to deepen EMR integrations and push what co-founder Scott MacIntosh calls “sovereign healthcare AI” — automation that sits inside clinic and hospital workflows instead of another disconnected chatbot.

What they automate

ClinicGlide’s public product line centres on multi-channel patient access: phone, text, and web. The company sells an AI receptionist (Clara), booking automation (BookingGlide), and reactivation tools aimed at cutting repetitive front-end admin. Entrevestor relayed NBIF’s claim that early deployments have cut administrative load by as much as 50% for providers using the tools.

The sharpest wedge so far is appointment booking inside Jane.app, the clinic EMR popular with allied-health and private practices. MacIntosh told Entrevestor ClinicGlide was first to market with a Clara AI Booking Agent that books directly in Jane, with hospital and health-authority connectors next.

The founding bench

MacIntosh and emergency physician Dr. Hanif Chatur are not first-time operators. Per ClinicGlide’s about page, MacIntosh founded SwiftRadius (later acquired by Deloitte), later worked as a Deloitte consulting partner, and has chaired Propel ICT and co-chaired TechImpact. Chatur founded eVisitNB, a telemedicine marketplace the company says has served more than 300,000 patients, and previously led the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick.

That combination — systems integrator plus practising ER doctor — is the pitch: automate the conversations clinics already hate, without inventing a new clinical workflow religion.

Why the round matters

NBIF writing a cheque into agentic clinic admin is a useful signal beside Fredericton’s cyber and industrial-software stories. TLT showing up alongside NBIF also extends the Saint John–rooted fund’s early pattern (Eigen, Profitual, SnapTrade) into digital health.

MacIntosh told Entrevestor the round was still taking remaining pre-seed commitments, with capital aimed at more EMR/scheduling connectors and healthcare-specific AI build-out. For a province that has watched VeroSource leave as a HEALWELL subsidiary, ClinicGlide is the smaller, earlier bet: keep the next patient-access layer in Fredericton while it is still a startup.
