A health tech company focused on changing the way employees interact with their benefits has raised an impressive new round of funds.
About the round:
This week, Healthee announced that it had raised $32 million. The Series A was co-led by Fin Capital, Glilot Capital Partners, and Group 11. Additionally, strategic partner TriNet participated. To date, the company has now raised $55.5 million, including a $22 million seed round (led by Group 11) in 2021.
According to Healthee, the new round of funds will help them to strategically scale their operations and increase the speed of their product development.

Using the service, employees can gain guidance on their open enrollment options, get answers to their billing and claims questions, make appointments, access telehealth resources, and more. The platform also utilizes AI technology to help individuals make more informed decisions for their well-being.
Additionally, by utilizing Healthee, the startup says that employers can save money. In fact, the site states that companies can achieve savings of up to 14% annually on healthcare expenses.

My thoughts:
Having previously attempted to navigate my health benefits as an employee, the idea of the Healthee sounds great. Therefore, it’s not surprising to see that the startup is garnering investor attention. On that note, a $32 million Series A is quite an impressive round and represents the promise that the platform holds. Overall, it sounds like the startup is bound to be a health tech and FinTech star.
