Wheel, an Austin, Texas-based health tech company, raised $150m in Series C funding.
The round, which brought total funding to $216m to date, including a $50m Series B round in May 2021, was co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Tiger Global with participation from new investors Coatue and Salesforce Ventures and existing investors CRV, Tusk Venture Partners, and Silverton Partners.
The company will use the funding to further invest in its platform and broaden its white-labeled diagnostic services, enabling companies to integrate direct-to-consumer lab testing and diagnostic follow-up care. Wheel also plans to double its employee headcount, continue growing its clinician network, invest in its clinical platform, and expand its clinical onboarding and continuing education programs.
