In a recent funding round, Abridge, an artificial intelligence startup dedicated to automating medical records, successfully raised $300 million in a Series E round, bringing its valuation to $5.3 billion. The round was led by the renowned investment firm Andreessen Horowitz, with Khosla Ventures also participating. Notably, this funding followed the company's $250 million funding round in February, when its valuation was $2.75 billion.
Seven years after its founding, Abridge has gained attention for its leading position in the increasingly competitive AI medical records market. Abridge's success is mainly attributed to its early market entry and deep integration with Epic Systems, the largest health record software provider in the United States.
According to a report from Information, Abridge achieved $117 million in annual recurring revenue in the first quarter of 2025. This metric includes all signed recurring contracts, even if these customers have not yet completed onboarding.
In addition to fundraising, Abridge announced that it will expand its services by launching a feature that converts patient visit records into AI-driven medical coding. This new feature puts Abridge in direct competition with other startups such as CodaMetrix, as well as with the corresponding features launched by its partner Epic Systems.
Abridge was founded by cardiologist Shiv Rao, who claims that its AI recording technology has been adopted by more than 150 large healthcare systems in the United States. The adoption by these healthcare systems further validates Abridge's influence and future prospects in the industry.
