Valify

Valify

Valify was founded by healthcare procurement veteran Les Popiolek, who spent over 25 years in group purchasing including roles at Premier, Broadlane, and MedAssets. The firm is headquartered in Frisco, Texas, and positions itself as the only GPO 100% dedicated to healthcare purchased services. The firm's core offering is the Valify App, which categorizes hospital accounts-payable spend data to identify savings opportunities in purchased services. It operates three business lines: the app itself for spend analytics and benchmarking; Valify Solutions Group, a preferred supplier network offering 230-plus contracts across 110 categories; and Valify Advisory, which provides consulting for contract negotiation and stakeholder alignment. The firm claims its data set covers over $1 trillion in total categorized spend, drawing on more than 1,400 hospital clients across the U.S. It targets average savings of 10 to 30 percent through its network. Publicly named clients include Lifepoint Health and CoxHealth. The firm's team numbers at least nine named executives across technology, sales, advisory, client success, and marketing. No total headcount is disclosed. The firm does not operate a separate philanthropic foundation or known investment vehicle. Valify's structural differentiator is its narrow focus: it works only on purchased services, the sprawling category of non-labor hospital expenses that includes IT, facility management, and clinical services. By combining software-based spend categorization with pre-negotiated contracts and on-the-ground consulting, it offers a closed-loop model uncommon among broader GPOs.
