Doctronic, which offers a free personal AI doctor accessible 24/7, announced it received $20 million in Series A funding.
Lightspeed Venture Partners led the round, with participation from Tusk Ventures, Mantis VC, Union Square Ventures, Seven Stars and angel investors, including Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Jay Desai and Scott Belsky.
WHAT IT DOES
Doctronic offers an AI-enabled doctor consultation platform. The company says the AI asks relevant clinical questions in response to individuals' inquiries and provides medical explanations.
The platform also offers access to licensed physicians via video visits starting at $39.
The company will use the funds to expand its direct-to-consumer services as well as its partnerships with payers and health systems.
"Doctronic is scaling at a pace that makes it clear the future of healthcare will be AI-driven," Faraz Fatemi, partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, said in a statement.
"What sets them apart is far more than just speed or convenience, but a fundamentally unique agentic architecture that pairs collective AI intelligence with real clinical oversight. That combination makes Doctronic the trusted front door for millions of patients and positions them to define what next-gen healthcare looks like in America."
