Exclusive: Even Healthcare raises $20 Mn led by Khosla Venture

Healthcare company Even Healthcare has raised Rs 169 crore (approximately $20 million) in a new round led by Khosla Ventures. The fresh funding for the Bengaluru-based firm has come after a gap of 20 months.

The board at Even has passed a resolution to issue 2,17,589 preference shares at an issue price of Rs 7,762 each to raise Rs 169 crore or $20 million, its filing sourced from the Registrar of Companies shows.

Khosla Ventures led the round with Rs 83.4 crore or $10 million while Pathfinder and Mercury Fund invested Rs 21.3 crore and 26.9 crore, respectively. Simon Fiduciaria, DLB Ventures, Lex Italia, 8 VC, Rainmatter fintech, and others cumulatively injected the rest amount.

It's worth noting that Khosla Ventures has been bullish on Even Healthcare, leading the firm's Seed and Series B rounds, while also making a significant contribution to its Series A round.

Even Healthcare has also expanded its employee stock option (ESOP) pool, adding new options that bring the total pool size to 1,35,000, according to a separate resolution filed by the company. According to Entrackr’s estimates, its ESOP size is worth $12 million.

As per startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the company has been valued at around Rs 753 crore or $91 million post-allotment.

Even offers subscription-based plans to cover diagnostics, consultations, and hospitalization costs of up to Rs 50 lakh. According to the company, it only partners with those hospitals that guarantee the care of its members in exchange for a recurring payment.

Launched by Mayank Banerjee, Matilde Giglio and Alessandro Lalongo, Even also offers personalized managed care programs and provides Even cards which can be used to pay bills at its partner hospitals and labs. Even claims to have an advantage over medical insurance as it provides unlimited OPD consultations and diagnostics.

The company has raised approximately $40 million to date, including $15 million from Alpha Wave and Aspada in November 2022, and an initial $5 million in seed capital led by Khosla Ventures in 2021. Entrackr exclusively reported about its seed funding in July 2021.
