Good morning ☀️, leader of the next generation.

Sometimes we give technology too much credit or too much blame.

The truth is, it’s a tool. How we use it is what matters.

Used with purpose, it helps us see more clearly, build faster, and express ourselves in new ways.

It’s not about chasing trends. It’s about creating something real.

Function Health unveils AI model, raises $298M to transform diagnostics

Function Health raises $298M Series B at $2.5B valuation

Function Health, a company helping users track their health through regular lab testing and AI insights, has raised $298 million in a Series B round led by Redpoint Ventures, valuing the company at $2.5 billion. Total funding now stands at $350 million.

The company aims to bridge the gap between massive personal health data and meaningful insights. By connecting blood tests, wearables, and medical records to an AI model, Function helps users better manage their biology through personalized health guidance.

Investors include a16z, Aglaé Ventures, Alumni Ventures, NBA players Blake Griffin and Allen Crabbe, Battery Ventures, NFDG, and Roku founder Anthony Wood—underscoring broad support for the AI-driven approach to healthcare.

Alongside the raise, Function launched its Medical Intelligence Lab, a generative AI initiative trained by doctors to analyze users’ data and deliver tailored recommendations. Customers can interact with the system via an AI chatbot that leverages lab results, scans, and doctor’s notes.

CEO Jonathan Swerdlin said, “It is not good enough to be in a world where AI exists and not be applying it to your health. You should be able to manage your biology.”

Swerdlin emphasized security and privacy: all data is encrypted, HIPAA-compliant, and never sold. “Your data and your identity are never for sale. We are committed to keeping you, and your data, safe.”

Function’s medical leadership includes Dr. Dan Sodickson and Dr. Mark Hyman, who oversee MI Lab with a team of doctors, researchers, and engineers. The model is continuously trained and reviewed by physicians.

Unlike rivals like Superpower and Neko Health, Function claims a unique edge with its device-agnostic platform that integrates diagnostics, lab testing, and clinical-grade insights—offering more than a standard wellness app.

Function currently operates 75 U.S. locations, with access to over 2,000 Quest Diagnostics sites nationwide. Since 2023, it has processed more than 50 million lab tests.

💸 Big Tech Moves 📈

Adobe Bets on AI Search Visibility with $1.9B Semrush Acquisition

Adobe will acquire SEO platform Semrush for $1.9 billion in cash—offering $12 per share, nearly double its Tuesday closing price.

The move strengthens Adobe’s position in marketing tech as brands pivot to optimizing for AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity instead of just Google.

Semrush has already launched “generative engine optimization” tools, helping brands boost visibility across AI platforms. Adobe says this opens a whole new channel for growth in the age of AI-first search.
