Clarity Pediatrics just secured $14.5M in Series A capital, and the name could not be cleaner. When the pediatrics system stays cloudy with 6-month waitlists, referrals that stall, and families refreshing portals at midnight, clarity is not branding, it is leverage. This round, led by Jackson Square Ventures with City Light Capital, MassMutual Catalyst Fund II, GingerBread Capital, Scrub Capital, and Operator Collective joining in, plus continued conviction from Rethink Impact, Maverick Ventures, and Homebrew, signals discipline over noise.
Christina LaMontagne and Alesandro Larrazabal, M.D. did not stumble into this problem. They followed the data and the damage. Christina LaMontagne brought operating scar tissue from The Pill Club and Johnson & Johnson, where scale and healthcare reality collide fast. Alesandro Larrazabal, M.D., trained at UCSF and Stanford, saw the bottlenecks firsthand while leading specialty services at Kaiser Permanente. Different paths, same conclusion. Kids with chronic conditions were waiting too long for care that should have been routine.
Founded in 2022, with roots reaching back to 2021, Clarity Pediatrics operates a virtual pediatric clinic delivering diagnosis, behavioral therapy, and medication management for ADHD and anxiety, with pediatric obesity launching in early 2026. The model stays sharp. Evidence-based protocols aligned with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Behavioral Parent Training delivered in group settings. Insurance coverage that includes Medicaid. Growth powered by trust through referrals, not hype, across a network of 1,600+ pediatricians.
The outcomes hold weight. Thousands of families served across CA and TX. After 8 weeks, 75% of families report improved child behavior. 89% of parents say the programs had a large impact on their lives. That is not marketing math. That is stress leaving the room.
This Series A brings total funding to roughly $24.5M following a $10M seed round in April 2024. The capital is focused where it matters. Launching pediatric obesity care, now the fastest-growing chronic condition in kids. Continuing to build the virtual clinic platform. Expanding beyond two states. More than 40% of U.S. children live with at least 1 chronic condition, and specialist supply is still losing the race.
There is a reason investors like Victor Echevarria at Jackson Square Ventures and Heidi Patel at Rethink Impact are leaning in. This is not telehealth as a shortcut. This is telehealth as infrastructure. Clear protocols. Clear outcomes. Clear demand. In healthcare, the sharpest advantage is often not volume, it is clarity.
