February 6, 2018 | Israel’s MDClone, a Beersheba-based company providing healthcare data in real-time, announced on Monday it has raised $15 million in total funding from Tel Aviv-based seed stage venture capital firm OrbiMed Israel Partners and American VC firm Lightspeed Venture Partners. OrbiMed led the company’s initial seed investment round in 2016, while Lightspeed led funding in 2017.
