HealthPlix, a healthtech startup, has raised $13.5 million in its ongoing Series B round. Lightspeed Ventures led the financing round of the Bengaluru-based startup.
Lightspeed Venture Partners is a multi-stage venture capital firm focused on accelerating disruptive innovations and trends in the Enterprise and Consumer sectors.
Lightspeed and its affiliates currently manage $10.5B across the global Lightspeed platform, with investment professionals and advisors in Silicon Valley, Israel, India, China, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
Speaking on the investment, Vaibhav Agrawal, Partner at Lightspeed, said, “What sets HealthPlix apart is its doctor-first B2B approach. Doctors are the most influential decision-makers in healthcare. We believe whichever platform wins their trust will have the sole right to orchestrate the entire $88 billion of healthcare spend. The impact is very clear — improved health outcomes for patients, better practices for doctors, 10x better Insights for pharma and med device companies, and superior underwriting capability for insurers.”
Prior to this, the healthtech startup has raised $6 million in June 2020 in the Series B funding round from JSW Ventures, Chiratae Ventures and Kalaari Capital.
