“We closed our A round a few months ago. It was a good process, I believe raising funds is a long process that you do for a long time with your investors so you know what you’re going into as you reach the time you ask for the funds,” said Yael Adam, CPO at Laguna Health.
The company, an AI-powered complex care management system for care managers at insurance companies, recently received Series A funding - a first for the company, but familiar territory for Adam who went through a similar process at a different company five years ago. Speaking to CTech, she outlined how things have changed nowadays compared to pre-war, pre-pandemic times.
“I think specifically in digital health, the world did not have as much digital health innovation 5-6 years ago,” she said. “There was a lot of educating investors. There were a lot fewer investors focused solely on digital health…This has been much nicer to be able to speak to someone who understands what we’ve been going through. We also have a much better perspective over how it is supposed to look like, how long it takes when you get frustrated, and know it’s part of the process, which helped a lot in managing this,” she added.
