Optura, a provider of an enterprise AI platform that helps healthcare organizations quickly assess AI business value and prioritize AI investments in real time, raised $17.5 million in a Series A round.
Salesforce Ventures led the investment round with participation from Echo Health Ventures and continued investment from Susa Ventures, Matrix Partners, and HC9 Ventures.
Series A investment brings the company’s total funding to over $25 million to date, following a $6.5 million seed round co-led by Susa Ventures and Matrix Partners in May 2025.
With the new funding, Optura will continue to invest in expanding AI capabilities, growing platform teams, and scaling LLM partnerships.
Optura is trusted by leading enterprise health plans and provider organizations. More than $2 billion in healthcare AI initiatives run on Optura today, with $120 million in tracked value at 700% ROAI (Return on AI Investment) on in-flight initiatives and over 250 new use cases identified.
“Optura is solving one of our industry’s biggest challenges: helping healthcare organizations structure and capture real value from AI programs,” said Kurt Sheline, Partner, Echo Health Ventures.
Healthcare doesn’t have an AI adoption problem. It has an AI results problem. The industry will spend over $18 billion on AI this year, 46% of all healthcare investment. Yet, often the AI isn’t a fit – 95% of enterprise GenAI pilots have produced no measurable value.
As margins compress and economic headwinds intensify, the cost of chasing AI hype without accountability isn’t just strategic risk; it’s existential. Optura’s platform is built for exactly that – to help organizations quickly assess AI business value and viability, prioritize AI investments, and provide clear visibility into an AI’s enterprise impact and return in real time.
