A new healthcare start-up, based in Seattle, raised $11 million in funding, according to GeekWire. The start-up, 98point6, aims to reduce the cost of primary care and is led by Robbie Cape, former founder of Cozi, a family scheduling app, and 12-year Microsoft employee.
With the $11 million, the year-old company has raised a total of $18 million in financing. While details of the primary care cost-cutting service are still emerging, the company is hiring in-house physicians who will provide care through the platform that the company is building, according to the report.
98point6 also has a medical advisory board, comprised of 16 members. The company's executive committee includes a number of veterans from companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Starbucks. The company is not revealing their investors names, GeekWire notes.
