Huli, a healthtech founded in Costa Rica with a presence in Latin America, has closed a $5.5 million Pre-Series A funding round led by Intoku Health, a group of successful US healthcare technology founders and executives, and Carao Ventures, the leading Venture Capital firm in Central America.
This is the largest capital investment that the health startup has received since its creation in 2012 and which will allow it to continue its expansion in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, as well as improve its existing products and services.
“We are delighted to have the support of Intoku Health and Carao Ventures as we continue to build our platform and expand our reach in Latin America. This investment will help bring high-quality healthcare services to more people and improve patient outcomes across the region,” said Alejandro Vega, CEO of Huli.
The purpose of HealthTech is to close the disconnection gap between health services in Latin America by digitizing and connecting the sector’s ecosystem so that more patients can access quality health services.
The startup provides a booking platform for medical appointments, that connects over 7M patients with 10K health professionals and 400 medical centers across Latin America.
To achieve this, Huli created a platform that facilitates the work of health professionals and providers, providing a better experience for patients when accessing health services, safeguarding their data, reducing costs, and improving the quality of care.
The company will use the resources to develop new products and expand into Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
