Healthcare Startup Abridge Secures $250 Million Investment to Enhance AI Capabilities

Abridge Secures $250 Million Funding Round

Bengaluru, February 18, 2025: Abridge, a startup that uses artificial intelligence to build medical documents, announced on Monday that it has raised $250 million in a funding round co-led by Elad Gil and IVP. The round was also backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, CVS Health Ventures, Redpoint Venture, and NVentures, Nvidia’s venture capital arm.

The latest funding will help Abridge develop AI capabilities and grow commercially. The company, founded in 2018, automates clinical notes and medical conversations for doctors, leveraging artificial intelligence. Abridge’s products have been implemented at about 100 healthcare systems in the U.S., including rural setups and children’s hospitals.

AI startups captured a record 46.4% of the total $209 billion raised by U.S. startups in 2024, compared to less than 10% a decade earlier.

Abridge did not disclose the valuation at which the amount was raised. The company was valued at $850 million after a funding round last year, in which it had raised $150 million.

Somesh Dash, General Partner at IVP, said, "AI can be transformative by abstracting away the complexity and rules around revenue cycle as it pertains to documentation, allowing clinicians to focus on their patients while getting their documentation right the first time."

The latest funding will help Abridge develop AI capabilities and grow commercially.
