Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, digital health categories including telehealth, at-home diagnostics, and remote monitoring have been the object of renewed attention. In this map, we highlight the top-funded digital health startup in every US state.
The digital health industry is continuing to mature. Seed/angel deals have dropped to 30% of deal share in 2020 year-to-date (YTD), after accounting for more than half of deals in 2015. Meanwhile, late-stage (Series D and E+) deal share has increased to hit a record 6% in 2020 YTD.
Digital health startups raised over $17B across more than 1,700 deals in 2019, representing a 2% increase in funding and relatively flat deal activity from the year prior. Now, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, many of these startups are receiving more attention than ever.
In 2020 YTD, the states that have seen the most equity deals to digital health startups are, unsurprisingly, California, New York, and Massachusetts — but investors have bet on the sector across the country.
Using CB Insights data, we mapped out the top-funded digital health startup in every US state.
Collectively, these startups have raised more than $10B in total disclosed equity funding, with leading companies including cancer-focused molecular and clinical data startup Tempus (Illinois), emerging health insurer Bright Health (Minnesota), and insurtech unicorn Clover Health (New Jersey).
