Fully subscribed funding round accelerates real-time clinical continuity for hospitals facing rising cyberattacks, costly downtime, and growing demands for resilience
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 9, 2025 / Spare Tire, the healthcare mission-critical, category-leading EHR downtime resilience solution and the world's first on-demand backup platform that can be activated within minutes to ensure uninterrupted access to Electronic Health Records during cyberattacks, system outages and planned downtime, today announced it has raised $3 million in Series A funding. The round was filled quickly and backed exclusively by returning ShelterZoom investors, Spare Tire's parent company, reflecting heightened confidence in the company's mission and rapid market traction.
Hospitals, along with ambulatory and specialty care clinics, are being hit by more cyberattacks and system outages than ever before. And when the EHR suddenly goes dark, everything from diagnoses to documentation can come to a standstill, putting patients at risk and creating costly chaos for care teams. Spare Tire keeps care moving by keeping workflows live and documentation intact until the main system is back up and running.
"We've seen incredible traction in a very short period of time, and this funding gives us the runway to accelerate what's already working," said Allen Alishahi, co-founder and president of Spare Tire. "Hospitals are tired of downtime getting in the way of patient care and Spare Tire finally gives them a way around it. Our growth shows a clear message from the market: healthcare downtime is no longer acceptable and continuity must be the new standard."
Spare Tire is establishing a new category in healthcare technology of real-time clinical continuity. Instead of relying on outdated paper processes or delayed data snapshots, Spare Tire provides a continuously syncing, living backup that keeps clinicians fully operational during EHR downtime and automatically reconciles downtime data back into the EHR once restored.
The platform's rapid adoption reflects an urgent market need. Spare Tire has already been deployed to early live customers and pilot customers, with more than 100 hospitals, ambulatory care services and EHR vendors in active evaluation across the U.S.
"After more than three decades in medicine, I've seen how technology can both elevate and disrupt patient care," said Dr. Kevin Nini, board-certified plastic surgeon and investor in Spare Tire. "Spare Tire stood out because it solves the very real problem of keeping clinicians connected to their patients even when systems fail. We no longer need to defer appointments or delay surgeries during EHR downtime. It's rare to see innovation that blends practicality with such meaningful impact, and that's exactly why our clinic is already implementing Spare Tire and why I chose to support it."
That focus on reliability and resilience is shared by another physician investor with a deep background in innovation.
"After decades pioneering the urgent care model in the U.S., I've seen firsthand how every minute of downtime can compromise care, safety and revenue," said Dr. Barry Morgan, founder of one of the nation's first urgent care networks and a lifelong advocate for healthcare innovation. "Spare Tire represents the next evolution of healthcare resilience-an elegant, practical solution that ensures clinicians never lose access to critical patient information, even when EHR systems fail. It's rare to find technology that is both visionary and immediately useful on the front lines of care. That's why I invested in Spare Tire-not just as a physician, but as someone who's spent a career building systems that keep healthcare moving when it matters most."
The new capital, marking the launch of Spare Tire's first Series A funding round, will be used to expand integrations with major EHR systems for scalable enterprise adoption, grow go-to-market and channel partnerships with leading cloud and technology providers, accelerate customer deployment capabilities and strengthen compliance, reporting and operational scale to support large health systems nationwide. Combined with its parent company ShelterZoom, the organization has now raised over $34 million to bring highly innovative, secure, resilient, compliance-first technology to regulated industries and beyond.
