Today we are thrilled to share that our portfolio company, Tuned; the first preventive and comprehensive hearing benefit provider has secured a $3.2M seed extension led by employee benefits leader, Unum with participation from our firm. This brings their total funds raised to $8.2M. 

With 50 million Americans experiencing hearing issues, and 60% of those are within the current workforce, this has created a massive cost burden on employers with hearing loss costing up to $9,100 per person annually.

These statistics show a major gap in the #employeebenefits arena where Tuned provides the leading solution. 

Tuned is the only #telehealth platform that supports hearing care across the entire continuum from prevention to intervention. Today, Tuned’s platform is available to more than 1.4 million people. 

With this additional funding, the team at Tuned will be focused on scaling their commercial team and audiologist roster to support more employers and the development of new offerings. 

We are proud to work with CEO, Danny Aronson and the incredibly dedicated team at Tuned as they continue to transform the hearing health benefits market. 

Also, big thanks to Aaron Weitzman for covering this story!

What better way to wrap 2023 and toast to a bright 2024 than with our friends across the #Chicago Venture Community? Last night we co-hosted an intimate dinner with Decasonic and Croke Fairchild Duarte & Beres to do exactly that. 

The evening was marked by rich conversation, discussion of the unique qualities and opportunities that define Chicago’s startup community, and the exploration of ways we can collaborate in the upcoming year. 

Many thanks to the leadership of Paul Hsu, Grace Casey, Patrick Croke and Michael Frisch for working with us to convene this group. 

Cheers and wishing you the best in 2024 from the team at DV!
