In just 4 months, AI medical scribe Abridge doubles valuation to $5.3B
In Brief Abridge, an AI startup automating medical notes, has secured a $300 million Series E at a $5.3 billion valuation, according to the Wall Street Journal. The round, led by Andreessen Horowitz with participation from Khosla Ventures, follows the company's $250 million February fundraise at a $2.75 billion valuation. The seven-year-old Abridge is widely considered to be the leader in the increasingly crowded AI-powered medical scribe market, largely due to its early entry and integration with Epic Systems, the dominant health record software. In Q1, Abridge has reached $117 million in contracted annual recurring revenue (a metric that includes all signed recurring contacts, including from customers that have still not been onboarded,) The Information reported last month. Along with the fundraise, Abridge announced that it is expanding into converting medical notes from patient appointments into AI-powered medical codes, an offering that makes the company directly competitive with startups like CodaMetrix and a feature from its partner Epic Systems. Abridge, which was founded by cardiologist Shiv Rao, claims that its AI scribe technology is used by over 150 of the largest health systems in the US.

AI Investment Represents New Gold Rush For Investors, Entrepreneurs
AI investments are top-of-mind for small business founders and VC firms Global venture capital (VC) investment in AI startups reached unprecedented levels last year, surging past $100 billion - an AI investment increase of over 80% from 2023's $55.6 billion. The AI gold rush momentum for entrepreneurs continued into the first quarter of 2025, with AI startups raising $73 billion. That total number accounted for a remarkable 57.9% of global venture capital dollars, a substantial increase from just 28% in Q1 2024. This concentration was even higher in North America, where 70% of venture funding flowed into AI startups, according to Pitchbook. Maria Palma, General Partner at San Francisco-based VC firm, Freestyle Capital, says, 'The fear of somebody else winning your market has never been higher than it is now.' That FOMO (fear of missing out) is driving investor dollars to entrepreneurial ventures with AI investment at the center of the business model. Here's how innovative entrepreneurs can capitalize on this shift in deal flow, and take advantage of current investor sentiment. AI Investment Bucks Market Trend for Entrepreneurs The broader market trends around investment are not as encouraging as the numbers for AI-based startups. While overall venture investments saw a significant decline from their 2021 peak of USD 702 billion, returning to levels seen between 2017 and 2020 (estimated at USD 313.6 billion by Crunchbase and USD 392 billion by Dealroom for 2024), AI investments have largely defied this downturn, demonstrating consistent growth. AI companies now command a substantial 20-30% of the total venture investment volume. This suggests that AI is perceived as a fundamentally different, high-growth, and transformative opportunity that defies broader market downturns or cautious investor sentiment in other sectors. Generative AI attracted $45 billion in funding last year, almost double 2023 levels of $24 billion. The unprecedented interest and impact in LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini and other platforms has been a key driving factor - leading Bloomberg Intelligence to project that the industry will grow from $40 billion three years ago to $1.3 trillion in the next decade. How AI Investment is Changing for Founders Consider how two Yale students turned an innovative AI-based idea into $3 million in new investment, in just 14 days. Nathaneo Johnson and Sean Hargrow, both 21, created a new AI-powered networking platform called Series - billed as the 'anti-facebook' - a platform for high-value connections and networking. 'Social media is great for broadcasting,' Yale junior Johnson says, 'but it doesn't help you meet the right people at the right time.' For these founders, their timing to multi-million dollar funding was exactly two weeks - after meeting the right people at the right time. As a coach to entrepreneurs at the SXSW pitch competition in Austin, I experienced the value of timing firsthand. Of the teams that I coached this year, 100% focused on AI - and the winners' circle in Austin was filled with solutions built around artificial intelligence. Indeed, incubators like Y Combinator and others are funding numerous AI startups. Success stories, like Alexandr Wang, are living proof of the potential gains: Wang, founder of Scale AI, is the youngest self-made billionaire on the Forbes 2025 list. While AI can help you with your pitch deck, it still can't deliver your pitch for you. As neuroscientist Gregory Berns has said, "A person can have the greatest idea in the world but if that person can't convince enough other people, it doesn't matter." That's why, when it comes to accessing the gold rush of investor dollars around AI investment, leaders in the world of entrepreneurship need to keep these three key communication principles in mind: Looking into 2025, fintech leads investor interest, with 52% of investors eyeing disruption in finance, followed closely by healthcare and enterprise tech, according to June reports from Pitchbook. Deep tech bets remain strong, with 58% of investors backing robotics plays from founders. A notable trend is the rise of vertical AI startups, which offer laser-focused solutions targeting specific SaaS incumbents (such as the previously-mentioned healthcare and financial services, as well as the legal sector). Vertical AI companies in these arenas captured over $1 billion in combined funding in 2025 year-to-date, surpassing infrastructure and horizontal AI categories. The push for capital is not limited to one area or sector, as AI investment continues to be the top topic for VC firms and founders right now.
