Okay, I clearly don't understand how to name a company, but Carrot roots out $25 million in funding for its smoking cessation service.  Did I mention that this is a digital health company, because they certainly did.  By the way, this is a digital health blog; anyone want to give me a few million in funding.

Ok, we will be a little careful with this one.  I knew ED was a hard problem, but Roman is raising a stiff (or maybe I should say smoking) $88 million to change its name to Ro and add smoking cessation services to its offerings.  Not sure what ED and smoking have in common, but no more after-sex cigarettes for their ED customers.

You will be pleased to know that Thirty Madison is rebuilding the health care experience for modern consumers and apparently is also fleecing modern investors, acquiring $15.25 million in new financing to create a platform to treat chronic conditions, although their primary product to date has been one that addresses baldness.  Hope investors don’t take a haircut.
