Heidi Raises $475 Million to Build Agentic AI Healthcare

Heidi raised $475 million in new capital, achieving a $1.26 billion valuation and unicorn status. The funding includes a $140 million Series C round led by Blackbird, with participation from Phoenix Court, Point72 Private Investments, and Headline, as well as a $335 million growth investment from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund.

The company plans to use the capital to transition from transcription and case management tools into a fully-fledged AI partner with agentic capabilities. These new features will enable the platform to automate background tasks, including managing referrals, preparing daily schedules, and conducting patient briefings.

CEO Tom Kelly stated that while the platform will expand its information-gathering powers, clinical judgment will remain with medical professionals. He noted that fully AI-led clinics are not currently the goal for the company.
