Clover Health, a San Francisco-based health insurance startup, raised $35m in Series B funding.
The round was led by Sequoia Capital with participation from First Round Capital and Athyrium Capital Management as well as other individual angel investors. In conjunction with the funding, Sequoia’s Michael Dixon joined Clover’s board of directors.
The company plans to use the funds to scale its engineering, data science and care management teams as well as expand to new markets.
