LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2026 — The LANY Group (LANY), a bicoastal strategic firm, today announced its total operational pivot to Authority Infrastructure with the launch of its Sovereign Omni suite. This comprehensive solution is designed to bridge the “Invisibility Gap” for elite brands, integrating Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) with high-stakes PR and technical entity architecture.

“In 2026, being found isn’t enough; you must be cited,” says Erin James Murphy, Founder of The LANY Group. “Whether it is a clinical protocol for a bio-hacking brand or the IRR of a Hedge Fund, accuracy is a terminal value. We are the only firm synthesizing LA’s narrative prestige with NY’s technical rigor to build a deterministic digital footprint that the machines—and the markets—trust.”

As the traditional search landscape transitions into an era of Answer Engines, 9-figure brands face a critical “Invisibility Gap.” The LANY Group’s new framework addresses the rising threat of AI hallucinations and the dilution of founder authority by hard-coding human genius into the global Knowledge Graph.

“Search is no longer about clicks; it’s about citations,” says Murphy. “In 2026, if an AI agent cannot verify your data as a deterministic fact, your brand effectively ceases to exist for the high-net-worth consumer. We are bridging the gap between LA’s narrative prestige and NY’s technical rigor to ensure our clients remain the definitive Source of Truth.”

The Four Pillars of Sovereignty

LANY’s strategic approach provides a unified defense and growth strategy for the Generative era:

1. AEO & GEO Architecture (The Machine Layer): Deploying proprietary Schema 3.0 and JSON-LD entity mapping to ensure brand data is technically optimized for Answer Engines. This creates a “Machine-Readable” identity that forces AI agents to verify and recommend the brand as a definitive authority.
2. Authoritative Asset Development (The Intelligence Layer): The engineering of high-stakes “Original Source” assets—including Articles, White Papers, Clinical Protocols, and Institutional Reports. These serve as the primary data points used to train Large Language Models (LLMs) and secure “Source of Truth” status.
3. High-Stakes PR & Validation Nodes (The Trust Layer): Securing placements in Tier-1 global media and podcasts to serve as high-authority “Validation Nodes.” These third-party citations feed AI trust-loops, ensuring innovations are cited as facts rather than hallucinations.
4. Sovereign Web Design & Data Sovereignty (The Infrastructure Layer): Developing cinematic, minimalist digital environments that serve as the technical “Source Code” for a brand’s entity. We ensure Data Sovereignty by structuring proprietary intelligence so it remains ownable by the client while remaining 100% accessible to the agentic web.

Quantifying Sovereignty with ASoV

Central to the new strategy is the introduction of AI Share of Voice (ASoV), a metric that replaces legacy traffic data with authority-based tracking. The firm utilizes technical logic to measure category dominance:

ASoV=(∑Total Category Answers/∑Verified Citations)×100

Targeting High-Stakes Verticals

LANY focuses exclusively on verticals where data accuracy is a terminal value:

• Pioneering Wellness and Health-Tech: Protecting clinical sovereignty for global wellness brands, longevity pioneers, and bio-hacking firms. We ensure proprietary protocols and research-backed innovations are cited accurately across the generative landscape.
• Global Wealth & Finance: Securing entity integrity for FinTech, Venture Capital, Private Equity, Hedge Funds, and Wealth Management firms. An AI hallucination about your product, AUM, IRR, or investment thesis is not a marketing inconvenience—it is a fiduciary liability.

About The LANY Group

The LANY Group is an Authority Infrastructure firm with a presence in Los Angeles and New York. By synthesizing bicoastal expertise in prestige storytelling and technical data architecture, LANY ensures that high-stakes, 9+ figure brands in health and finance achieve total Answer Dominance in the generative era.

Authority Infrastructure Services include: GEO, AEO, Entity Governance, Algorithmic Brand Governance, AI Hallucination Defense, Agentic Readiness, Authority PR, LLM Entity Association, First-Party Signal Engineering, and Web Architecture.

Funding led by Haymaker Ventures supports expansion across major U.S. markets

NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2026 — Coral Care, the platform expanding access to in-home pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapy, today announced it has raised a $13 million Series A round led by Haymaker Ventures, with participation from FCA Ventures and Peterson Ventures.

Additional investors include Alleycorp, Reach Capital, Jefferson River Capital, Greymatter Capital, Mother Ventures, and Charge Ventures.

The funding will accelerate Coral Care’s national expansion, including newly launched markets in Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. With this growth, Coral Care now operates across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Texas, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, bringing in-home, insurance-covered pediatric therapy to families across its growing footprint nationwide.

Coral Care’s clinician network has grown to more than 400 licensed providers across its markets, reflecting the rising demand from both families seeking accessible care and therapists pursuing more flexible, sustainable practice models. Families receiving therapy in the home remain in care longer, with more than 75% continuing services beyond four months, while Coral Care’s technology platform reduces administrative workload for clinicians by up to 15 hours per week, enabling more time for direct patient care.

Today, Coral Care connects families with licensed Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), and Physical Therapists (PTs) who deliver care directly in children’s homes, supporting needs ranging from speech and language development and feeding support to motor coordination, sensory processing, and functional development. By embedding therapy within children’s natural environments, Coral Care helps clinicians deliver more contextual, real-world care while improving access and continuity for families.

Founded in 2023 by Jen Wirt, Coral Care was born from her firsthand experience navigating therapy services for her own daughter. After encountering long waitlists, complex insurance requirements, and limited in-network availability, Wirt set out to address the systemic barriers families face when seeking developmental care. She built Coral Care to make therapy easier to find, easier to access, and more sustainable over time.

“We’re building the care infrastructure that allows pediatric therapy to scale without losing its humanity,” said Jen Wirt, Founder and CEO of Coral Care. “By investing in clinicians and enabling in-home delivery, we’re expanding access while strengthening the workforce behind it.”

“Coral Care represents the modern approach to care delivery—one that is affordable, localized, and customized to meet patient needs. It allows providers to focus on patients rather than operational overhead,” said Olivia Baribeau, Principal at Haymaker Ventures.

At a time when technology is reshaping healthcare delivery, Coral Care is building a modern care infrastructure powered by proprietary software that enables high-quality, in-person therapy at scale. The company’s platform streamlines scheduling, documentation, billing, and credentialing, allowing therapists to focus on care delivery while building independent, community-based practices.

With new capital and expanding geographic reach, Coral Care plans to continue scaling its clinician network, launching additional markets, and investing in the technology infrastructure that powers its in-home care model.

About Coral Care
Coral Care is a pediatric therapy platform building the infrastructure layer for in-home developmental care. The company connects families with licensed speech, occupational, and physical therapists who deliver insurance-covered services in the home, while supporting clinicians in building flexible private practices through integrated infrastructure spanning credentialing, scheduling, documentation, and billing. This dual-sided model increases provider supply while making therapy more accessible to families nationwide. By modernizing the workforce and care delivery model, Coral Care is transforming how developmental therapy is accessed and delivered across the United States. With a rapidly growing national provider network, Coral Care is building the leading platform for in-home pediatric therapy. The company operates across multiple U.S. markets and continues to expand nationally. Learn more at www.joincoralcare.com.
