<\/p>\n

The intersection of AI and healthcare has been getting massive attention from investors\u2014and rightfully so, says Peter Shalek. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment,\u201d said Shalek, cofounder and CEO of Valerie Health. \u201cSoftware, at its best, takes complexity away from the end user that benefits their customers. It creates new experiences, and that hasn\u2019t happened in the last 30 years\u2026 Over the next ten years, the experience of going to the doctor will<\/em> change.\u201d <\/p>\n

To meet the moment, Shalek\u2014who co-founded digital mental health startup Joyable, which was sold to AbleTo\u2014teamed up with Nitin Joshi, cofounder of Uber Health and Stripe<\/a> engineering leader to start Valerie Health in 2023. Valerie, Shalek says, is \u201can AI front office\u201d for independent doctors\u2019 offices. <\/p>\n

\u201cAll the space that sits between the patient and provider, we\u2019re taking that over and automating as much as possible,\u201d Shalek said. \u201cWe automate referrals, we automate faxes, we automate scheduling. But over time, we’re building out a comprehensive platform that can really manage the entire workflow from front to back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Valerie Health\u2014named with Shalek and Joshi\u2019s children\u2019s initials\u2014has raised its $30 million Series A, led by Redpoint Ventures, Fortune<\/em> has exclusively learned. General Catalyst, Primary Ventures, BoxGroup, and Karman Ventures participated in the round, along with 406 Ventures and Waybury Capital. Angels included executives from One Medical, Oscar, Main Street Health, and DoorDash<\/a>. Valerie has now raised $39 million.  <\/p>\n

\u201cThe future of healthcare is personalized and proactive,\u201d said Meera Clark, partner at Redpoint Ventures. \u201cThink about the ability to shift an appointment time or get that next appointment on the books\u2014imagine a system has context to reach out to me and schedule based on my preferences, knows my healthcare needs, and knows my risk profile, what I might need to be screening for. You really need a foundation in place to be that proactive and personalized, and Valerie is laying that foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Shalek, this isn\u2019t just about a tech-enabled future, it\u2019s the hope for better healthcare overall.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in the U.S., with the best medical care in the world,\u201d said Shalek. \u201cWe have incredible therapeutics, incredible diagnostics, incredible surgical capabilities\u2014and yet, we have very mediocre average healthcare. The gap is about getting patients the right care that they need. It\u2019s about democratizing healthcare, not just care for the healthiest and wealthiest people, which is too often what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

See you tomorrow,<\/p>\n
