Jonathan Bush's Zus Health scores $40M, inks partnership with Elation Health
Jonathan Bush's latest health tech venture, Zus Health, picked up $40 million in fresh capital to continue building out its health data platform as a common layer digital health companies use to build their tools.
The financing was backed by investors Jazz Venture Partners, F-Prime Capital, Maverick Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).
With the latest financing, the startup plans to add unique data sources to its platform along with workflow and referral solutions and integration pathways to enable healthcare providers to leverage external patient data and collaborate around a shared patient record.
The company, which launched in 2020, provides easy-to-use patient data at the point of care via API, embedded components and direct integration with electronic health record software. The Zus platform is centered around the Zus Aggregated Profile, or ZAP, which represents a single, comprehensive and actionable view of a patient's healthcare information, according to the company.

General Catalyst is launching a digital health startup with a $25 million investment, betting that demand for at-home care outweighs the challenging macroeconomic environment.
The startup, called Maribel, will be led by former Mission Health CEO Dr. Ron Paulus and former Bayada Home Healthcare Chief Medical Officer Dr. Adam Groff.
The digital health funding landscape has been relatively quiet this year. The collapse of popular digital health institution Silicon Valley Bank Friday may lead to an even more difficult funding climate. But Paulus, who serves as an advisor at General Catalyst, said he is confident in starting up a digital health company in challenging economic times because of the venture capital firm.
Maribel will provide a tech platform and advisory services to health systems offering complex care services in the home. “We can meet health systems where they are and support them, either in a turnkey way where we develop and operate the program or in a supportive way from an advisory services perspective,” Paulus said.
