The investment fuels the telehealth leader’s development of its innovative technology platform and online services for continuous care with a doctor through video, text and phone.
The Series A round was led by Pelion Venture Partners with participation from Next Ventures, First Trust Capital Partners, The Daube Family office, Crosscut Ventures, M25 Group, Wild Ventures, and Hyde Park Venture Partners.

Telehealth innovation for system level healthcare change
“When we start working smarter and using technology in healthcare, you can see the great advantages of telehealth,” states Dr. Phelan. “This next round of investment is a testament that SteadyMD is a leader in system level change—empowering doctors to do what they do best: to provide human care to people.”
Board-certified doctors at SteadyMD practice primary care, pediatrics and functional medicine—completely online—to its members and through partners and employers. In addition to the long term relationship with a doctor, every SteadyMD member has access to a team of medical assistants, who assist with prescriptions, lab orders, medical record management, downstream care, referrals to specialists if needed and cost guidance.
