Today, we're announcing @thatch_ai raised a $108M Series C at a $1B valuation from @thegp, @IndexVentures, @generalcatalyst, @a16z.

The idea we're betting on: healthcare serves whoever controls the dollar. For 80 years that's been the employer. We think it should be you.

Employers typically choose one health plan for everyone. We think there's a better model: give people a health budget and let them choose the insurance and care that fits their life. That is the idea behind Thatch.

ARR has grown nearly 7x in the last twelve months, and more than 5,000 employers now use Thatch. None of this happens without our team, or without the employers who believe that their people know what their families need better than they ever could.

We're building a healthcare system people love by changing how we fund it.

Vintage is thrilled to deepen our partnership as an LP in Avid Ventures' newly launched $87M Fund II, which brings their total AUM to $165M. 💼💡

Having already made strategic investments across payments, insurance, gaming, and data analytics, Avid has consistently shown its ability to identify and support game-changing founders early on. 🚀

Their deep operational expertise, paired with their Strategic Finance value-add, makes them more than just investors—they are true partners, deeply embedded in the success of their portfolio companies. 🤝📊

Abe Finkelstein Managing Partner at Vintage, discussed Vintage’s decision to join in Fund II.- (link in comments)

"It was really the founder feedback, the co-investor feedback, and the quality of the founders we saw Addie attracting in fund one," he said. "She also did what she said she was going to do, executing on the plan that she’d told us about years earlier."

We’re proud to join other leading institutions and investors in supporting Avid's vision and look forward to seeing their continued growth and impact. 📈✨

Avid's first investment was in @nova_credit in Feb'20, just before immigration came to an abrupt halt. Today, on the back of exciting milestones, Nova announced its $45M Series C. @MishaEsipov is a uniquely resilient, mission-driven founder - his story is worth a read.

[Misha Esipov @MishaEsipov]

@nova_credit announced some 🎉big news 🎉 today, and rather than tell the typical “up and to the right” story 📈, I thought I’d share a more honest take (seeped in 🚢 metaphors) on how we got here.

My first ever 🧵...

Thank you @AllRaise for your leadership.

We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community, and the people of Israel, and condemn the horrific terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas. /1

Thank you for your strong leadership, @HarryStebbings. We are grateful to you for using your platform to educate the tech community on what is happening on the ground in Israel.

I am a family man. I have always been public about my bond with my mother. To see the suffering of so many families in Israel is devastating. There are no words to account for the loss of lives or the atrocious acts of barbarism.

We have to speak up. We cannot remain silent.

"...Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me"

Pastor Martin Niemöller (1946)

My team at @AvidVc deplores the sadistic violence of known terrorist organization Hamas, and wholeheartedly supports Israel's right to defend herself. We are praying for safety for our friends, family, founders, and partners in Israel. Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱
