The next generation of software won't just help people manage their work; it will increasingly work alongside them.\"\n\nWith the investment, iCareManager plans to advance modernization of its technology platform and expand its next generation of AI-enabled capabilities. The company is developing AI tools that simplify documentation, surface relevant information and support clinical and operational decisions, reducing administrative work so staff can spend more time on quality care.\n\nBabar Nawaz, Co-Founder and COO, said: \"AI will never replace the human. It will replace the admin work and the tedious work, so staff can spend their time helping individuals and residents in a much better way.\"\n\n[Five Elms Capital](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00005z4/five-elms-capital) is a growth investor in vertical AI-native businesses. Zach Gornet, Vice President at Five Elms Capital, said the AI capabilities the team is building \"will take real administrative weight off direct support professionals so they can spend more time with the people they serve.\" Austin Gideon, Principal at Five Elms Capital, said the company \"has become essential for agencies supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.\" Five Elms Capital previously announced a $15 million Series A growth investment in UrgentIQ, an AI-native platform for urgent care centers, on September 11, 2026, according to PR Newswire.\n\n## iCareManager's Scale Across the U.S.\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), more than 15,000 providers use the iCareManager platform, which has a presence in more than 30 states and serves more than 30,000 individuals through those providers.
