Clinical documentation used to be a time-sink with a stethoscope. Now? It’s getting Nabla’d.
On June 17, Nabla announced a $70M Series C led by HV Capital, bringing total funding to a cool $120M. But this isn’t just another raise. It’s a full-blown flare from the future of healthcare AI, engineered by founders who’ve lived at the intersection of tech genius and clinical grit.
Alexandre Lebrun (CEO), Delphine Groll (COO), and Martin Raison (CTO) didn’t just stumble into this. They built Nabla off real muscle, ex-FAIR, ex-Wit.ai, ex-VirtuOz, and then ran a shadow clinic with 50 doctors to field-test their ideas before writing a single line of scalable product. That’s not MVP. That’s PhD in pain points.
Now they’ve turned that research into a platform that listens, transcribes, codes, and acts in real time. Not “AI that helps doctors,” but ambient agent in infrastructure that becomes part of the clinical conversation, understanding context, surfacing the right codes, and executing EHR commands as if it read your mind and filed the paperwork before your coffee hit half-empty.
And it works. Nabla’s been deployed across 130+ healthcare organizations, including CVS Health, Children’s Hospital LA, Carle Health, Denver Health, and University of Iowa Health Care. That’s over 85,000 clinicians, 20 million patient encounters, and 30 billion tokens per month. The kicker? Clinicians report a 50% cut in documentation time and a 15-point boost in patient satisfaction. AI didn’t just show up, it clocked in.
Behind the curtain is an army of proprietary, clinically trained LLMs built for real-world EHR chaos. These models don’t just play nice with Epic, Cerner, and athenahealth, they speak fluent CPT, ICD10, HCC, MCC, and probably Klingon at this point. The architecture is cloud-native, the agents are customizable, and the platform moves with the agility of a startup but the compliance of a locked vault, HIPAA, HDS, and a privacy-first build that screams enterprise-ready.
Series C isn’t about survival, it’s fuel for domination. Nabla is expanding into inpatient, nursing, and specialty verticals. Their roadmap includes Proactive Coding Agents, Context-Aware Summarization, and Custom Care Setting workflows that meet clinicians where they actually work, not where software wishes they would.
Massive respect to HV Capital, DST Global, Highland Europe, Cathay Innovation, and Build Collective’s Tony Fadell for betting on the real deal. And welcome to Ed Lee, MD, MPH, former CIO at The Permanente Federation, who joins as Chief Medical Officer. That’s not window dressing. That’s a war room move.
