289have raised

Ranked by disclosed equity funding and recent momentum, the 913 Assistive Tech companies in this United States directory have pulled in $4.9 billion in total disclosed capital, a figure that tells you the sector's ambitions are serious. The [global assistive technology market sits at roughly $4.1B in 2024, compounding at 12.6% annually](https://prnewswire.com), driven by an aging population and rising healthcare automation demand. Two unicorns have emerged from this cohort. And the funding distribution is steep: Earlens Corporation alone accounts for $326M, Cala Health for $157M, and together those two firms dwarf most of the remaining 911 entrants.

So what does the rest of the field look like? Mostly early-stage, honestly. Parallel ($29M), Cognixion ($23M), and Floreo ($18M) represent the mid-tier, while investors like the National Science Foundation, HHS, and Techstars are doing the heavy lifting at the seed end. As 2024 research shows, AI integration is reshaping what assistive devices can actually do, and coverage of the space is accelerating accordingly. Regulatory pathways, particularly FDA clearance timelines for neurotech and hearing devices, remain a real friction point for companies trying to scale. The funding concentration here isn't a flaw in the data. It's the whole story.
