Vera Health Raises $28.5 Mn Series A to Expand AI-Powered Clinical Search Platform

Threshold Ventures led the funding round. Other investors include Optum Ventures, a healthcare investment firm backed by UnitedHealth Group, along with Mantis VC and SV Angel.

Vera Health has developed an AI-powered search engine that helps doctors find and review medical research in seconds. The platform helps physicians understand medical evidence and provides sources, along with information about the strengths and limitations of each answer.

The platform is designed to meet key healthcare data protection and security standards. It is compliant with HIPAA and GDPR regulations and holds SOC 2 Type II certification, helping protect sensitive information and support secure use in clinical settings.

“Clinicians are the best data scientists I’ve ever met. They make the call in seconds, with more evidence than any human could ever read,” said Taieb Bennani, co-founder of Vera Health. “The secret to building for them is to live and breathe the problem like no one else. Everyone on our team is a clinician, or the child or sibling of one, like Maxime and me. That passion translates into every detail of the product, and when you build with that kind of obsession, the product speaks for itself, and clinicians share it with their colleagues. We don't have the biggest team or the most money. We have the people who care the most about getting it right.”

“Medical knowledge moves too quickly for any one clinician to read, and general-purpose AI tools can make uncertain evidence sound settled,” said Maxime Allouch, co-founder of Vera Health. “Unlike other tools, we believe there’s value in making uncertainty visible. The grade shapes what Vera retrieves and writes, while the clinician brings the patient, the context and the judgment.”

Vera Health was co-founded by French entrepreneur and investor Maxime Allouch and Moroccan entrepreneur Taieb Bennani. The founders initially developed the platform for their fathers, who both work as doctors. What started with just two users has grown into a platform used by more than 800,000 clinicians worldwide.

The new funding will help Vera Health improve its clinical evidence platform and expand into more international markets. The company aims to make reliable medical information easier for healthcare professionals to access and use

Vera Health also plans to build partnerships with medical societies, publishers and healthcare systems. It will work to include more local medical guidelines and hospital-specific protocols, helping doctors find information that is relevant to their location and workplace.
