MedScout Raises $10M and Launches AI Agents for MedTech Commercial Teams

Backed by Fulcrum Equity Partners, MedScout has Grown Enterprise Revenue by 3x Since Its Series A as MedTech Companies Adopt AI Agents to Turn Commercial Strategy into Field Execution

MedScout, the commercial engine for MedTech, today announced a $10M growth round led by Fulcrum Equity Partners, with participation from existing investors Live Oak Venture Partners and Stage 2 Capital. The round, which more than doubled the company’s valuation from its Series A, will fuel continued investment in MedScout’s AI capabilities and support growing demand from enterprise customers.

“MedScout is tackling one of the most pressing challenges in MedTech: turning company strategy into revenue performance,” said Philip Lewis, Partner at Fulcrum Equity Partners. “What they’ve built combines commercial expertise and AI to solve that problem in a highly actionable way that’s unique to each customer. This is the future of how companies put AI to work, and it’s why we’re doubling down on our investment in MedScout.”

Alongside the funding, MedScout is launching Strategies, AI agents that analyze market and account-level referral networks, procedure volumes, payer dynamics, and more to deliver prioritized, ready-to-work territory plans to reps.

“MedTech companies spend months developing commercial strategies that don’t make it to the field as intended,” said Skylar Talley, Co-Founder and CEO at MedScout. “MedScout bridges that gap by translating commercial priorities into clear, territory-specific actions. Sales reps know which providers to prioritize and how to build and expand those relationships.”

MedTech commercial teams face a core disconnect: strategy is set at the top, but the tools reps use in the field don’t reflect it. Instead, reps rely on Google, stale spreadsheets, or data platforms that lack the context to tell them what really matters.

Each Strategy is an AI agent built around a company’s specific commercial context, how it wins in the market, and its definition of a best-fit target…

Garner Health Raises $118 Million to Close the Healthcare Quality and Cost Gap; Reaches $1.35 Billion Valuation

The Funding Will be Used to Scale Garner’s Proprietary Provider-Ranking Engine and Incentive Platform that Now Helps Lower Healthcare Costs For Over 2.5 Million Members

Garner Health, a leading digital platform that helps patients find the best healthcare providers using better data and smarter financial incentives, announced it has raised $118 million in funding. Garner’s Series D, which brings the company’s total capital raised to-date to approximately $200 million, was led by Kleiner Perkins with participation from Redpoint, Maverick, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, Mercy, Plus Capital, and other existing investors.

The funding comes at a time of explosive growth for Garner, with revenue up over 130% year-over-year as employers continue to look for alternatives to traditional provider search tools. The capital will be used to further expand Garner’s industry-leading doctor ranking platform, scale its AI-driven navigation and appointment booking capabilities, and grow its team to meet the demands of a rapidly growing customer base.

The U.S. healthcare system suffers from a fundamental market failure: a lack of transparent data on physician quality and a lack of incentives for patients to seek high-performing providers.

“The single most important health decision we make is which individual doctor we see when we need care,” said Nick Reber, Founder and CEO at Garner Health. “Our data shows that the top-performing doctors have 75% lower rates of complications and mortality than their peers. By identifying these providers and creating the financial incentives for patients to see them, we aren’t just saving money—we’re fundamentally re-engineering the healthcare marketplace to reward quality.”

“Garner delivers a rare double win in healthcare: getting patients to the highest quality doctors while simultaneously cutting costs at scale,” said Josh Coyne at Kleiner Perkins…
