Founded by Harry Ritter in 2018, Alma had raised a total of $220.5M in equity funding and is backed by Thoma Bravo, Insight Partners, Cigna Ventures, Tusk Venture Partners, First Round Capital, Primary Venture Partners, Sound Ventures, BoxGroup, and Rainfall Ventures.

Harry Ritter will continue as CEO of Alma, leading the organization within Spring Health.
“Alma has focused on empowering clinicians to deliver high-quality, in-network care over the long term,” remarked Harry Ritter, Founder and CEO of Alma. “Joining Spring Health accelerates our ability to support clinicians with industry-leading technology while improving quality, experience, and outcomes for members and health plan partners.”
