Brazilian healthtech Beep Saúde raised $18M in a round led by Lightsmith. Actyus, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and David Vélez also participated in the round. After leading the round, Jay Koh, Lightsmith’s Co-Founder and Managing Director, joined Beep Saúde’s board.
Beep Saúde will use the funds to enhance its AI technology to optimize the route of appointments for each professional, and to offer new solutions.
Beep Saúde has a team of medical professionals that deliver a variety of healthcare services directly to consumers in their homes, especially vaccinations and diagnostics, all managed through an app.
“In the beginning, the average distance between appointments was 10km. Today it’s 5km, and our goal is to bring it to 1km. (…) We want a platform that allows Brazilians to address all their health issues within it,” said Vander Corteze, Beep Saúde’s Co-Founder and CEO.
Founded in 2016, Beep Saúde serves customers in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília, and generates $54M in revenue per year. Beep reached breakeven in 2023.
