Providence-backed Kno2 raises $15M for healthcare communication tech July 20, 2021 at 12:07 pm Kno2 CEO Jon Elwell. (Kno2 Photo) Kno2, a Boise, Idaho-based startup developing ways for healthcare systems to communicate with each other, has raised $15 million in new funding. The Series A funding round was led by Seattle-based Providence Ventures, the investment arm of Providence, the largest health system in Washington state, along with Health Enterprise Partners. Providence Ventures manages about $300 million in venture capital and has backed multiple companies aiming to improve healthcare. Kno2’s software eases the confidential transmission of patient information between healthcare providers, which can be clumsy and time-consuming and still often relies on faxing.
