Overjet has raised $53.2 million from investors led by March Capital to develop and expand an AI platform that helps diagnose disease from scans and other data, aiming to make trips to the dentist easier for patients and insurers.
General Catalyst Partners, Insight Partners, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s E14 Fund and the American Dental Association joined the financing, Overjet said in an announcement Tuesday. The Series C round pegs Overjet’s valuation at $550 million, the startup added.
