Austin, Texas-based startup Legion Health, in announcing a $2 million seed round, follows the development of another high-profile health care startup that turned heads with a big-time funding round, Behavioral Health reports.
Also based in Austin, Wheel Health landed a $150 million Series C investment round to scale up its platform which gives any organization the needed infrastructure to provide virtual primary care.
Cruchbase.com estimates that Wheel — which has so far raised $216 million — could be valued between $500 million and $1 billion, potentially making a unicorn startup.
Individual investors in the Legion Health seed round include Erica Johnson, co-founder of Modern Health; Ravi Shah, chief innovation officer of Columbia Psychiatry; Jeffrey Leerink, CEO of SVB Leerink; Robert Musslewhite, president of Definitive Healthcare; and Jay Desai, former CEO and founder of PatientPing.
