"Cardiovascular care is often the largest expenditure for employers and Medicare Advantage plans, yet very few, if any, value-based care approaches have been brought to bear in this area," said Mr. Koons. "Karoo is in the process of attacking both the cost and quality issues in cardiovascular care in a patient-first way." "Seeing the shortcomings of the current state of cardiac care, we knew there had to be a better way," said Ben Selzer, Co-Founder and CFO of Karoo Health. "We approached leading cardiologists across the country and asked them how they would design a better cardiac care delivery model. Based on their feedback, we built Karoo Health." Mr. Selzer continued, "we will blend digital approaches and services with in-person care at Karoo-owned cardiology centers to create a true, value-based solution for cardiology cases of all types, assuming risk and working with employers and health plans to lower their cardiovascular spend." Austin Poole, Principal of Panoramic Ventures added, "We are thrilled to be working with Ian and Ben at Karoo to define a new paradigm in cardiac care that empowers physicians to focus on patients and drive better outcomes." Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP served as legal advisor to Karoo Heath during the funding round.
