Healthcare needs good data. At PicnicHealth, we are building deep real-world datasets fueling cutting edge research while giving patients control of their own medical record data. These complete, clinically-rich datasets produce unique insights - across dozens of diseases - to ultimately get the right treatments into patients’ hands faster. We do this by working directly with patients and leveraging state of the art machine learning and human curation to transform messy medical records into structured, research-ready datasets. To date, we’ve helped tens of thousands of patients securely access their records and proactively contribute to advancing research in diseases that impacts their lives. We partner with some of the largest life sciences companies (including 10 of the Top 30) and have raised more than $100M including a recently closed $60M Series C led by B Capital Group, with continued investments from Felicis Ventures and Amplify Partners, who also participated in the Series B.

Abstract started from a question. Specifically, "Why don't designers have proper version control?" And so our first product was born: a tool to manage, version, and document design files in one place. Since our 2017 launch, Abstract has been the leading platform for file-based design collaboration, helping more than 7,000 companies improve workflows including Wayfair, Cisco, Docusign, Microsoft, and Zendesk. Today, we build products to support the huge portion of a designer’s job that isn’t drawing, kerning, or prototyping. Because design teams deserve their own space to collaborate. Abstract is that place for tracking tasks, reviewing designs, and measuring what works. We call it design intelligence.
