Text-based primary care company Curai Health raised $27.5 million in funding. The Palo Alto-based startup was co-founded in 2017 by Neal Khosla, who previously worked in machine intelligence at Google, and Xavier Amatriain, who built Netflix’s recommendation engine. Curai also recruited MDLive’s former chief medical officer, Dr. Sylvan Waller.
Khosla said he had the idea for the company as he began thinking more about healthcare access. Why does it take most patients two to three weeks to see a physician, and why do so many people go to Google with their healthcare questions instead of a healthcare professional?
