Today we're announcing a US$100M Series C funding round led by @blackbirdvc and a US$240M growth investment from @generalcatalyst, bringing our total new funding to US$340M. Heidi exists to double the world's capacity for care. Take a look at our journey so far.

Today, Heidi (@tryheidi) is announcing US$340M in new funding: a US$100M Series C led by our very first believer, @blackbirdvc, alongside @phxcrt, @p72vc and @HeadlineVC and a US$240M growth investment from @generalcatalyst's Customer Value Fund. The round values Heidi at US$900M. Five years ago I sat in a hospital cafe in scrubs after a night on call and pitched Blackbird. I worked with so many incredible doctors burdened by the work created from our care. I believed that every clinician would partner with AI, to handle that workload so they could get to the next patient. Where Heidi is today is way beyond what I could have imagined then. Our team has grown to almost 600 people. We’ve supported over 175 million patient visits in some of the world’s leading and most highly regulated healthcare systems. That only comes from an incredibly talented and hard working team driven by the mission to double the world’s healthcare capacity. In this next chapter Heidi is becoming the AI Care Partner I imagined. Handling all the work that a visit creates for every clinician and extending what we can accomplish in a day. Next week we’ll show you what that looks like. It’s what we’ve been building towards since the very beginning.

The heaviest part of the day has always lived in the backlog left behind. Something big is coming to take that weight off your desk. Join our waitlist: heidihealth.com/en/waitlist?… *Not available in the UK or Europe.

Ready for a bite-sized break? Introducing our sonic brand. Clinicians spend a meaningful part of their day on Heidi. We’re talking 2.7 million patient interactions each week. We want every part of our brand to feel as considered as the care they give.

If a robot learns that you respond better to certain kinds of information, what's to stop it from optimizing for your comfort rather than your health? In medicine, agreeable and right are not the same thing. Listen to the Care Beyond Barriers finale: heidi.ai/s/r10a3c
