Binary Fountain, which offers health care firms reputation management and patient experience analytics services, has coupled with investors to raise $16 million.
Telemedicine vendor TelaDoc went public, and in September it released the lockup on insiders, allowing them to sell shares, then last week it reveals that it lost a major customer and the stock falls about 20%. Uhhh, not sure how I feel about that sequence of events. But also shows once again the danger of buying into hyped approaches. Telemedicine is great, but it is ultimately a commodity.
Atigeo, a "big data" company that has offerings for health care companies, has raised $18.4 million from investors, including provider system Ascension Health's venture arm, and has issued the biggest load of pompous, self-serving s**t I have ever seen in a press release, referring to itself as a "compassionate technology company for a wiser planet". How bout you make a product that actually delivers value to customers and provides a return for investors.
Everything is coming up roses for Clover Health, lucky as can be with a $100 million fundraising for its "data-driven health plan" model for Medicare members. We will see how lucky the investors are feeling in a couple of years.
