H1, a healthcare data platform that provides physician and healthcare-industry information to pharmaceutical companies, hospital systems and insurers, raised $40 million in funding led by CVS Health Ventures. The company said it was not actively seeking capital and had already achieved cash-flow and EBITDA profitability while continuing to grow its data business.
H1's platform aggregates detailed information on physicians globally and serves customers across healthcare and life sciences. The company reported becoming profitable in 2025 and has expanded through acquisitions of smaller competitors and complementary businesses while maintaining growth forecasts above 40% for the year.
For healthcare organizations, H1 provides access to structured physician data that can support research, engagement and commercial decision-making. The investment highlights continued interest in specialized data platforms that generate proprietary datasets, particularly as companies seek differentiated information assets that can support both enterprise workflows and emerging AI applications.
