Digital health platform Clinikally secured fresh funding of $2.6 million from Y Combinator, Tribe Capital, and others. Investors include Y Combinator, Tribe Capital, Goodwater Capital, Sequoia Scout Fund, and Rebel Fund. Other angel investors included Dropbox Co-Founder Arash Ferdowsi, Cred founder Kunal Shah, and BloomTech (formerly Lambda School) founder Austen Allred.

Clinikally connects consumers with licensed dermatology practitioners who recommend products and personalized treatment plans that cater to individual clinical needs across a range of conditions such as acne, hair loss, hyperpigmentation, and eczema.

“By giving a direct channel to qualified physicians and online pharmacy offering established, rigorously-tested products, Clinikally’s telehealth platform democratizes access to expert dermatological and wellness care”, founder Arjun Soin said.

The Gurgaon-based company said it has served more than 4.5 lakh users across 500 cities in 21 months since launch. “While Clinikally’s pharmacy presents artificial intelligence (AI)-powered recommendations for certain OTC categories, the company has now also launched a feature to generate automated treatment plans from condition-specific diagnostics built using a proprietary database of varying prescriptions”, it added.

Soin said the new investors will help accelerate vertically integrated, full-stack care for the specialty in India. Clinikally had previously raised $500,000 in funding and was backed by Shutterstock CEO and Founder Jon Oringer’s Pareto Holdings, ReNew Power founder Sumant Sinha, MapMyGenome founder Anu Acharya and Nepean Capital founder Gautam Trivedi.
