Kaiser Permanente Ventures was among the investors in a $27 million funding round for AI-powered supply chain startup Clarium.
The series A round also included General Catalyst and Texas Medical Center Ventures and brought the company’s total funding to $43 million. Clarium predicts supply chain disruptions and offers a resiliency platform — spanning workflow operations, inventory and stock management, and disruption and substitution optimization — built in collaboration with health systems.
Clarium’s health system clients include Yale New Haven (Conn.) Health, Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger, New Orleans-based Ochsner Health, Boston Children’s Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente, and Sacramento, Calif.-based Sutter Health.
“Working closely with Clarium has allowed us to access the next-gen technology we need to manage our supply chain more efficiently,” said Jacqueline Epright, chief supply chain officer at Yale New Haven Health, in a May 8 news release. “Clarium is innovative to address supply chain pain points, attuned to our needs, and truly dedicated to helping our hospital system save on costs and deliver the best possible health outcomes to patients.”
