MD Ally | 911 Network Navigation just announced their $14M Series A led by Frist Cressey Ventures and anchored by General Catalyst, with participation from Techstars, Seae Ventures, Red & Blue Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. Founded by Shanel Fields, MD Ally is tackling a critical issue in emergency medical services, the overwhelming influx of millions of non-emergency 911 calls. These calls strain EMS systems, increase ambulance wait times, overcrowd emergency rooms and drive unnecessary healthcare costs. By collaborating with public safety systems and health insurance payors, MD Ally's 911 virtual care program ensures that callers with non-emergency concerns receive timely, appropriate, and convenient care. The company is partnering with some of the largest cities in the US like Phoenix, AZ and implementing several national payor partnerships across Florida, Arizona, and California to serve over 5 million patients. The newly secured funding will enable MD Ally to open up access to its solution to other forward-thinking public safety and payor partners that have been waiting to achieve similar outcomes. 👏 Congrats team and thank you Aaron Weitzman at Axios for taking the time to learn about MD Ally and share their story! 🎉

The analysis also showed that, since 2015, AI-native biotechs and pharma partners have entered 75 molecules into the clinic, of which 67 were in ongoing trials as of 2023."
