They say healthcare moves slow. Commure Inc. just dropped a brick of truth on that myth, $200 million in growth financing, led by General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund. That’s not just fuel. That’s a spotlight, a signal, a siren wailing down the streets of San Francisco saying, “The future showed up early, get in or get run over.”
This isn’t some equity-for-air deal. This is performance-tied, non-dilutive capital. Translation? Commure’s product already delivers. Hemant Taneja, who co-founded Commure and also runs the ship at General Catalyst, saw it early and bet heavy. Now the company’s valuation sits at $6 billion, and the only thing going backward is everyone else still charting patient notes by hand.
Let’s talk product before we talk prophecy. Commure built a FHIR-native, EHR-agnostic platform that actually does what every overfunded healthtech demo claimed it could. AI-powered ambient documentation. Autonomous coding. Revenue cycle automation that saves hospitals time and pads the bottom line without needing to sell another aspirin for $100. The platform works across 30+ EHRs, handles over 60 dialects, and serves more than 250,000 providers. Not in beta. Not in theory. In hospitals. Right now.
If that sounds like buzzword soup, ask HCA Healthcare. They’re running the largest ambient AI rollout in U.S. history with Commure. Two hours a day, per doctor, returned to actual care, not clicks. That’s ROI you don’t need an MBA to understand. It’s not just about cool tech. It’s about clinical hours reclaimed, revenue recovered, lives improved.
At the top is Tanay Tandon, who joined as CEO after the Athelas merger in 2023, and has doubled down on scaling without selling the soul. Under his leadership, Commure hit $200M in contracted revenue and kept that number doubling every year. Behind the tech, Eugene Kuznetsov, co-founder and CTO, brought the firepower from Salesforce and IBM and turned AI theory into operational clarity.
And don’t sleep on the supporting cast. CFO Chris Kuhns keeps the numbers bulletproof. Ian Shakil, CSO and former Augmedix founder, is writing the growth playbook in real time. Board moves? Quentin Clark (ex-CTO at Dropbox) and Pranav Singhvi from General Catalyst are locked in and laser-focused.
Commure isn’t playing for incremental wins. They’re building the healthcare OS for a system that’s been screaming for one since pagers were cool. Serving over 130 health systems and moving billions through automated pipelines, this isn’t a company dipping its toe in. It’s already swimming laps while the others are still arguing over the pool rules.
If you’re in healthtech, you’re either building like Commure or you’re preparing your exit deck. And if you’re a hospital system still thinking AI is five years away, spoiler: it already called your front desk, got an appointment, documented the visit, coded the claim, and got it paid, all before lunch.
