MD Insider Receives $9.5M in Series A Funding

SANTA MONICA, Calif.April 30 — MD Insider, a big data healthcare platform that significantly reduces healthcare costs for employers and sets a new standard for transparency in physician performance, today announced that it closed a $9.5 millioninvestment in early 2015.  The A round, led by Jason Ader, follows a record setting, significantly oversubscribed crowd-funding round raised via AngelList just a few months earlier.  This round is a who’s who of top investors including Tim Ferriss and Bill Ackman.

MD Insider will use the funds to accelerate its expansion and to continue to grow its enormous pool of proprietary data that fuels its unique solution.  Using big data to understand the performance of physicians, including quality and cost, enables employers to optimize and improve the quality of care that they bring to their employees.

“I am excited to be onboard with MD Insider as I believe we are bringing quality and performance transparency to the market in a very unique way,” said Jason Ader, Executive Chairman of MD Insider. “There is a massive need in the healthcare marketplace for this kind of platform and based on the demand from large companies and excitement among major investors, I believe this company has tremendous potential.”
