Another month full of huge funding rounds for startups in the Big Apple signifies the ongoing and rapid-paced evolution of the NYC tech scene. Names like Squarespace and Dataminr came through with nine-digit rounds last month. Find out how these companies and more are investing their capital.

Going forward, providers will be able to order Kit diagnostic tests directly through Ro’s platform. And now that Ro has access to Kit’s certified lab, patients will be able to discuss their lab results with a doctor virtually through Ro’s telehealth service.

Self care, crystals, nap rooms, clean eating — it’s all part of the wellness trend that’s growing faster than the veggies in your friend’s rooftop garden.

This Series D comes just months after healthtech startup Ro reached unicorn status, and will be used to scale and broaden its capabilities across the board. The company is also now hiring, with more than 30 open tech positions available at its NYC HQ.

The goal of Ro is to take on a healthcare system that co-founder and CPO Saman Rahmanian describes as “inefficient, inaccessible and expensive” by providing treatment online for a variety of chronic conditions.
