Recuro Health Announces Oversubscribed Funding Round: Founding CEO of Teladoc Leads Launch of New Integrated Digital Solutions Company

DALLAS--()--Recuro Health (Recuro), an integrated digital health solution that transitions the U.S. healthcare system from a reactive, disease-focused model to a population health, outcomes approach, today announces the closing of its oversubscribed funding round led by OLSF Ventures. Michael Gorton, founding CEO of Teladoc, leads the Recuro team which includes several Teladoc leaders: the original Chief Technology Officer, along with the marketing team that perfected Teladoc’s go-to-market strategy. The company is also adding healthcare luminaries and experienced business executives such as Jay Sanders, MD, founder of the American Telemedicine Association and acknowledged as the “Father of Telemedicine.”

“This oversubscribed round of funding and interest in our subsequent round demonstrate the support of our investors and confidence in our management team to build yet another industry-transforming company in the digital health space,” says Gorton, CEO and founder of Recuro Health. “The platform combines digital health with a patient-centered medical home. We are creating an easy, personal and economic solution for patients, employers and payers.”

According to Dr. William Paiva, managing partner at OLSF Ventures and lead investor in the round, “Given the unprecedented interest in the Recuro business model, we will quickly follow this company formation and funding round with a larger round of funding which will further accelerate Recuro’s journey to build a new industry category.”

Recuro is focused on empowering patients with tools, education and guidance to live healthier, longer and happier lives. Grounded in a suite of digital health offerings, analytics and services, Recuro touches patients along their entire health journeys.

Gorton says, “We intend to disrupt the traditional healthcare delivery system by bridging the gap between the current system and digital health. This requires a deep understanding of the current challenges facing healthcare, along with a proven ability to impact the industry. We are building infrastructure and partnerships to support care delivery in every setting, across the entire patient journey, minimizing the need for acute, episodic care by providing the digital keys to member health.”

Dr. Paiva continues, “There are rare moments in a venture capitalist career when you are presented an industry transforming opportunity, at the right moment in time, with a management team that has created the industry category. This is one of those moments.”

In addition to OLSF, participants in the current round of funding include Cortado Ventures, 1843 Capital and Sage Venture Partners.
