Linda AI, a healthtech startup focused on automating front-desk operations for dental practices, has raised a €2.6 million pre-seed round led by 6 Degrees Capital.

Automation for the dental sector

The funding comes as voice AI adoption accelerates across service-intensive industries. In healthcare, dentistry stands out due to high call volumes, complex operations, and detailed scheduling needs. Despite this reliance on phone-based booking, more than 25 per cent of inbound calls to dental practices go unanswered, leading to significant lost revenue.

Linda AI's solution

Linda AI addresses this challenge through agentic workflow automation built specifically for dental practices. Its AI agents integrate with existing practice management and communication systems to manage administrative tasks end to end, including appointment scheduling, confirmations, rescheduling, and patient follow-ups. The platform works alongside front-desk teams, using voice, text, and system integrations when staff capacity is constrained.

Measurable impact

As a result, the company reports measurable impact across its customer base. Approximately 25 per cent of new patient bookings are generated through Linda AI, overall bookings increase by around 15 per cent, no-show rates decline by more than 30 per cent, and front-desk teams save over 10 hours per week on administrative work. These outcomes support improved revenue performance, better calendar utilisation, and greater operational efficiency.

The new funding will be used to expand the engineering team, strengthen the senior sales function, and scale deployments across additional dental practices in Ireland and the UK.
