San Francisco, California- and Tel Aviv-based Vim, a startup developing a platform for health plan-provider collaboration, today announced that it’s raised $24 million in series B funding led by Optum Ventures, with participation from Premera Blue Cross, Great Point Ventures, and Sequoia Capital. The fresh capital follows a $10.6 million venture series in September 2016 (a year after the company’s founding), and it brings Vim’s total raised to $37 million.

Cofounder and CEO Oron Afek said the fresh funds will fuel Vim’s expansion across new U.S. markets and accelerate its product development and hiring efforts.

“Vim’s platform helps remove the complexity of navigating the health care system and uniquely positions us to align stakeholders,” wrote Afek, who cofounded Vim in 2015 with Asaf David and Yael Peled. “It’s more important than ever that we use technology to help patients access high-quality care and reward care providers for delivering value. We’ve already proven we can drive a meaningful impact in Washington, Alaska, Florida and Texas, and we’re excited to leverage our recent investment to reach more patients and care providers.”
