Ophelia, a NYC-based healthcare tech startup providing treatment for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), raised $15m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Menlo Ventures with participation from Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Refactor Capital, and the founders of Flatiron Health, Warby Parker, Harry’s, Allbirds, PillPack, Carbon Health, and Lambda School.
