It is the honor of a lifetime to announce the launch of
Summer Health via our public beta, in conjunction with our $7.5M fundraise co-led by
Sequoia Capital and
Lux Capital.
At Summer Health, we believe that every American should have a phone number that they can text to get medical support within 15 minutes. It’s that simple. We are starting with pediatrics, a market where parents have no shortage of questions and providers are hungry for new care models. I started Summer Health because, as a mother of 2 young boys, I feel this problem acutely.
We are thrilled to have some of the important healthcare and technology investors in our corner. Our $7.5M fundraise was co-led by
Alfred Lin at
Sequoia Capital and
Deena Shakir at
Lux Capital, with participation from
Adam Rothenberg and
Adina Davis at
BoxGroup,
Chelsea Clinton and
Caroline Kassie at
Metrodora Ventures,
Shrug Capital,
Springbank Collective,
Ashley Mayer, Moving Ventures,
Kate Ryder,
Andrew Dudum,
Amira Yahyaoui,
Alyssa Jaffee and many others.
I am deeply grateful for my team in getting us to this milestone. I’m joined on this journey by my co-founder
Matthew Woo and the impressive group working on solving this hard problem:
Tim Foran,
Emily Boschwitz,
Jose Rodriguez,
Ali Alhassani, and Mimu Jung. I'm also grateful to my husband,
David Eckstein, for supporting me throughout the process.
Join us in creating this future we all want for ourselves and for each other.
