Powered by the team that built Teladoc, Recuro is a new integrated digital solutions company that is building a new industry category
Transitioning the U.S. healthcare system from a reactive, disease-focused model to a population health, outcomes approach, Recuro Health (Recuro) has closed its oversubscribed round funding led by OLSF Ventures.
Michael Gorton, founding CEO of Teladoc, leads the Recuro team which includes several Teladoc leaders: the original Chief Technology Officer along with the marketing team that perfected Teladoc’s go-to-market strategy.
Experienced Leadership Team
“This oversubscribed round of funding and interest in our subsequent round demonstrate the support of our investors and confidence in our management team to build yet another industry-transforming company in the digital health space,” says Gorton, CEO and founder of Recuro Health. “The platform combines digital health with a patient-centered medical home. We are creating an easy, personal and economic solution for patients, employers, and payers.”
This initial capital will be used to identify and complete several value-accretive acquisitions for integration and build yet another industry-transforming company in the digital health space.
Lead investor in this round, Dr. William Paiva, managing partner at OLSF Ventures, says, “Given the unprecedented interest in the Recuro business model, we will quickly follow this company formation and funding round with a larger round of funding which will further accelerate Recuro’s journey to build a new industry category.”
Paiva characterizes this opportunity as a “rare moment” in the career of a venture capitalist:
“This is one of those moments — a chance to invest in the perfect opportunity at the initial funding round, at the right moment in time and with a management team that has created the industry category.”

This requires a deep understanding of the current challenges facing healthcare, along with a proven ability to impact the industry. We are building infrastructure and partnerships to support care delivery in every setting, across the entire patient journey. Think of Recuro as holding the digital keys to member health — minimizing the need for acute, episodic care.”
