Doctronic, the AI-native platform delivering fast, private, and personalized healthcare at scale, announced a $20 million Series A round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Union Square Ventures, Tusk Ventures, Mantis VC, Seven Stars, and luminary angels across AI & healthcare including Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Jay Desai, and Scott Belsky.
The new funding will enable Doctronic to expand its services and accelerate its mission to provide more Americans with instant, affordable, and individualized healthcare — both directly to consumers and through emerging partnerships with payers and health systems.
“Doctronic is scaling at a pace that makes it clear the future of healthcare will be AI-driven,” said Faraz Fatemi, Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners. “What sets them apart is far more than just speed or convenience, but a fundamentally unique agentic architecture that pairs collective AI intelligence with real clinical oversight. That combination makes Doctronic the trusted front door for millions of patients and positions them to define what next-gen healthcare looks like in America.”
Founded by Dr. Adam Oskowitz and Matt Pavelle, Doctronic was built on the belief that generative AI can solve one of America’s most persistent healthcare challenges: timely access to quality care. The platform delivers personalized, anonymous health guidance in minutes and provides seamless access to licensed physicians via video visits for as little as $39 — often less than the cost of a typical co-pay.
“Whether you are in rural Montana or New York City, it still takes over three weeks to see a primary care doctor, and in many cases a lot more. With Doctronic, the average time to chat with our AI and see one of our clinicians is less than 20 minutes. We often have patients write to us after using the system for the first time with a mixture of both gratitude and disbelief that healthcare can be so easy,” noted Dr. Oskowitz.
Users can engage with Doctronic’s AI advisor 24/7 for free — receiving four potential explanations for their symptoms, a likelihood-based assessment, and a structured AI-generated plan of action, including a SOAP note to bring to a provider. Doctronic handles more than 50,000 weekly visits, has powered 15 million medical conversations to date to over 1 million unique users, and delivers care at a fraction of the traditional cost.
“Hundreds of thousands of people are turning to our AI platform every month and nearly half return within a week, demonstrating that patients want AI-based healthcare because it’s instant, personalized and affordable,” said Pavelle. “Lightspeed is the perfect partner to help us scale from 1 million to 100 million users and beyond. This funding will accelerate our ability to serve more Americans both through our direct-to-consumer channels and emerging business partnerships, while maintaining the security, personalization, and quality that defines Doctronic.”
Doctronic has already begun securing partnerships with payers and health systems. This fall Doctronic will start providing its AI native solution to over 100,000 patients through a partnership with Safe Harbor Health. “Our mission is to remove barriers to care while lowering costs for both employers and employees,” said Ryan Herlin, Co-Founder and CEO, Safe Harbor Health. “Partnering with Doctronic allows us to extend that mission by integrating advanced, AI-powered primary care into our TOTAL Wellness Program. Together, we’re delivering a new standard of accessible, preventive, and affordable healthcare.”
Unlike generalized AI assistant platforms, Doctronic operates on a collective intelligence framework. Multiple specialized agents engage in structured clinical reasoning, while licensed physicians oversee and refine decision-making over time. Each interaction enriches a proprietary dataset linking symptoms, outcomes, and evidence, continually improving the system’s precision and reliability. Last month, Doctronic published the first large-scale validation of an autonomous AI doctor which benchmarked at a 99.2%treatment alignment with medically licensed clinicians.
Doctronic’s growth comes at a critical moment. The U.S. healthcare system faces a projected shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034, leaving nearly one-third of adults without consistent access to primary care. Doctronic steps into this gap as a complementary force for physicians helping patients track symptoms, uncover insights, and access care more efficiently, while alleviating pressure on an overstretched system.
Doctronic is available nationwide and has already become a trusted tool for millions of people who need fast, reliable answers about their health. With this new funding, the company is scaling even faster to meet the demand of patients, providers, and partners alike to reach millions more Americans.
