Gravie secures $12.5m for health insurance marketplace

April 21, 2015

A day after Oscar raised $145 million, fellow digital health insurance company Gravie secured a $12.5 million Series B from FirstMark Capital, Aberdare Ventures, and Split Rock Partners. Gravie is an online marketplace that partners with insurance companies, state health care exchanges, and banks to allow customers to run price comparisons and see what benefits they qualify for. The company is based in Minneapolis, MN and has now raised over $25 million.

InTurn, an online marketplace that sells off-season inventory to retailers at a discount, has raised a $3.6 million Seed round. The funding comes from Bobby Lent, T5 Capital, Lerer Hippeau Ventures, Forerunner Ventures, Novel TMT Ventures, and Beanstalk Ventures. The company is based in New York.

Zhiguoguo, a Beijing company that offers free trademark registration and other low cost IP-related legal services across China, has raised $3.7 million from Matrix Partners China and Legend Star. The company hopes to capitalize on the expected 30 percent year over year growth in trademark registration in the country. The Series A comes less than a year after the company raised seed financing, and will be used to build out the team’s legal and consulting services.

MyTime, an online appointment booking service for small businesses in the automotive, cosmetic, health, and dental industries, has raised $9.3 million from Upfront Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Daher Capital, the Westfield Corporation, and returning investor Accelerator Ventures. MyTime’s mobile app reportedly has listings from 2 million businesses, and employs a dynamic pricing model to encourage “off-peak” appointments. The company is based in San Francisco. “America’s small businesses are falling massively behind when it comes to finding, booking, and paying for services online, even more so when it comes to mobile,” said MyTime CEO Ethan Anderson through a statement. “This new funding allows us to expand our focus.”
