9am.health, a San Diego, CA-based virtual diabetes clinic that delivers personalized, affordable, and compassionate care directly to consumers, raised $16m in Series A funding.
The round, which brought total funding to date to nearly $20m, was co-led by 7Wire Ventures and Human Capital and included participation from new investors StartUp Health and Leaps by Bayer, and existing investors Define Ventures and Founders Fund.
The company intends to use the funds to grow its clinical and pharmacy services to include more medications and build out an ecosystem of medical device integrations and platform partners nationwide.
