Physicians

OpenEvidence, an AI startup for physicians, has raised $250 million at a $12 billion valuation, bringing its total funding to $700 million in under a year. The platform, trained on medical literature, aims to assist doctors in clinical decision-making. It claims over 40% adoption among US physicians and generates revenue through advertising. Despite competition from giants like OpenAI and Anthropic, OpenEvidence leverages its specialized focus and user data as competitive advantages. The founder aims for long-term independent growth, viewing potential IPOs from other AI leaders as paving the way for future public offerings.
