Suki, a leader in AI technology for healthcare, announced an investment from Zoom Ventures (the investment arm of the AI-first work platform and leading healthcare collaboration platform Zoom Communications). Suki will join Zoom Ventures’ AI investment portfolio, which includes Anthropic and CoreWeave.
Building on Suki’s $70 million Series D raise announced in October, the company has now raised $168 million. This deal follows Suki’s Platform partnership with Zoom to integrate AI-driven clinical notes into Zoom’s Workplace for Clinicians solution, designed to improve user experience and patient care.
This funding follows Suki’s partnership with technology giant Google last month, which solidified Suki’s position as the industry’s first end-to-end clinical AI assistant. By utilizing Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, Suki introduced new features like patient summaries and Q&A to expedite the clinical decision-making process and reduce clinicians’ information overload.
The company grew exponentially, accelerated by its Series D raise, enabling Suki to scale its technology and AI capabilities to better support healthcare collaboration partners like Zoom. As part of this new growth phase, the company added three new executives to strengthen its leadership team.

Airaudi joins Suki after two decades of marketing and communications experience with major technology companies, including senior positions at Block (formerly Square), Skype, Microsoft, LG Mobile Phones U.S., and most recently at Navan. With a deep understanding and experience in brand and communications, Airaudi will oversee Suki’s marketing organization.
2.) Aden Fine, General Counsel – As policies on AI come to the forefront following the new administration’s inauguration, Fine brings 25+ years of experience navigating regulation and novel policy issues for healthcare and technology companies like Datavant and Edmodo, where he served as General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer. Fine, who also spent ten years working on technology and privacy issues for the American Civil Liberties Union, will also lead Suki’s People team.
3.) Jonathan Antonio, Vice President of Infrastructure – Jojo Antonio steps into Suki to lead site reliability engineering (SRE/DevOps), security, compliance, and information technology (IT). Having worked at companies such as Twitter, Google, YouTube, and PayPal as VP of Infrastructure, Antonio will maintain Suki’s HIPAA compliance and SOC2 Type 2 certification standards as it expands partnerships with new health systems and leading technology companies. He will also strengthen the company’s infrastructure to support scale in this massive growth phase.
