Oakland-based startup Captricity Inc. that gives customers in regulated industries fast and easy access to customer data trapped in handwritten forms has raised $35 million in Series C funding led by White Mountains Insurance Group, LTD. Existing investors Social Capital and Accomplice also participated in the round. The latest round of funding brings Captricity’s total funds raised to $49 million.
Captricity’s cloud-native data capture platform captures data from any from all points of patient and provider contact, including handwritten charts and intake forms, bills, lab results, faxes, emails, texts, images, web forms with 99%+ accuracy. The results are unprecedented: 99.9%+ accurate, up to 50 times faster turnaround, 100% HIPAA compliant and government-trusted — all at a fraction of the cost of legacy solutions. Healthcare practitioners, administrators and providers rely on Captricity to solve problems from order and authorization processing to patient satisfaction surveys to backlogs.
