InStride Announces $30M in Series C Funding

InStride, the most trusted, insurance-covered specialty program for young people living with complex anxiety, OCD, and related disorders, raised a $30M Series C from new strategic investors Echo Health Ventures and FMZ Ventures, with continued participation from existing backers: .406 Ventures, Valtruis, General Catalyst, and Mass General Brigham Ventures. The capital will fuel InStride’s expansion into new markets while deepening access in existing ones, ensuring more families can get the high-quality specialty care they need. InStride continues to demonstrate strong financial performance while sustaining the clinical quality that defines its model.

“We set out to prove that the highest-quality specialty care could also be the most scalable — and the data shows that’s exactly what we’ve built. This capital lets us go deeper in existing markets and broader into new ones, and Echo Health Ventures and FMZ Ventures are ideal partners for this next chapter alongside our existing investors. Clinical quality has always been at the center of everything we do, and that remains our true north,” said John Voith, Co-Founder and CEO at InStride.

The Most Trusted Program

Working alongside caregivers, schools, and pediatricians, these clinicians are supported by domain-specific AI designed to reinforce best practices, reduce variation, and scale consistent, high-quality care—while keeping clinical decision-making and relationships firmly in human hands.

Today, InStride operates in 17 states and has served 5,000+ patients, with national expansion underway…

She said she spent years working alongside NHS teams and saw first-hand how administrative bottlenecks impact patient outcomes.

Finegold, its CEO, told The Times, “There physically weren’t enough administrators to support this integral machinery that needs to happen to keep patients moving through the system and to get patients their care.”
