Verana Health announced a $30 million Series C financing round to continue building its medical informatics and technology team and expand its platform, which uses real-world data from electronic health records, according to a press release.

The funding round is led by GV and includes participation from Biomatics Capital, the founder of Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers Brook Byers, GE Ventures and Lagunita Biosciences, the release said.

In addition, the company has added Miki Kapoor as president and CEO. Kapoor most recently served as CEO for Tea Leaves Health and has more than 20 years of experience as a health care executive, according to the release.

“Miki Kapoor is a health care leader with a proven track record of building health data companies and growing them into global commercial enterprises,” Brook Byers, Verana’s chairman of the board, said in the release. “With this round of funding and Miki established as chief executive, Verana Health is poised to offer its data-rich specialty platform to advance patient care.”
