We’re thrilled to announce that our portfolio company Courier Health has raised a $16.5M Series A led by Norwest Venture Partners. 

Courier Health provides the only patient-based CRM platform developed specifically for biopharma field access, patient services, and marketing teams to gain complete visibility and control over the end-to-end patient journey.

Over the past decade, the number of specialty medicines has surged, accounting for 93% of all drug approvals and dominating R&D pipelines. Despite this progress, 60-70% of patients prescribed specialty medicines either never begin their treatment or discontinue within the first few months.

Their platform connects disparate data sets, enabling centralized patient and provider management, omnichannel workflow automation, and advanced analytics, which are helping life sciences customers working with Courier Health achieve double-digit improvements to patient starts, time-to-start, and ongoing adherence to life-altering therapies.

Huge congrats to Danny Sigurdson and the entire team! We couldn’t be more honored to have led the Seed and be a part of Courier Health’s journey as they enable critical access to life-saving therapies for thousands of patients 🎉 

PS: They’re hiring across product, engineering and GTM!

As Seed-stage enterprise software investors, go-to-market is the #1 thing we work with our portfolio on day in and day out. In that spirit, we continuously host Enterprise Masterclasses on various tactical topics to cover everything a founder needs to know to get from 0 to 1.

Huge congrats to our Work-Bench portfolio company AuthZed on their $12M Series A led by General Catalyst! 
 
🤔 The problem: The growing complexity of user interactions in modern applications strains traditional authorization approaches and can lead to security vulnerabilities and bottlenecked development teams.

😎 Their solution: Delivering enterprise-ready permissions systems at scale, and the popular open-source project SpiceDB, a Google Zanzibar-inspired database for storing and computing permissions data, with over 4,500 stars on GitHub and over 2,300 members in their Discord community.  

💰 🤝  AuthZed’s ARR has more than tripled each year, with customers including Canva, Turo, HackerRank, Clear Street, Evisort, SpotAI, and Avise, as well as open source contributions from engineers at organizations like GitHub and Reddit. 

🧑‍🚀 🚀 With such clear signs of product-market fit, we’re excited to see co-founders Jacob Moshenko, Joseph S., and Jimmy Zelinskie, and the entire AuthZed team put their foot on the accelerator!

⚔ Battle-tested (and practical) leadership tactics, covering crucial aspects like communication, instilling company values, optimizing meetings, and beyond
🎢 All the triumphs, but most importantly many of the pitfalls he encountered for you to avoid 

As a repeat founder with 20 years of experience, including 12+ years at the helm of BetterCloud, David has achieved $100s of millions in ARR, hired thousands of people, and raised from top tier VCs while surviving macro downturns and company pivots.
