Doccla helps health systems “get on with care” with virtual wards that create a more proactive, affordable, and equitable healthcare system. This is the epitome of Health Assurance. In 2022, we led Doccla’s Series A raise to support its aligned Health Assurance vision that alleviates healthcare resources and improves patient outcomes, all from the comfort of their homes. To date, Doccla has monitored more than 4 million patient days, and regions implementing Doccla have reduced emergency visits by over 60%. Radical collaboration with health systems, like the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), has proved instrumental to Doccla’s success. The company plans to launch in new European markets and expand its presence in Life Sciences by monitoring adherence to potentially life-saving treatments. “We have a compliance rate of 92-97% for our patients, those are sky-high numbers. This is because we are in very close contact with our patients.” -Martin Ratz, Doccla’s Co-Founder We’re proud to invest in Doccla’s £35M Series B raise and deepen our partnership with Martin, Dag, and the entire team.

Today, we’re doubling down on Pylon – they are modernizing B2B customer support with a purpose-built platform that helps enterprises like our portfolio company, Applied Intuition, scale support across channels. When we first met Marty, Advith, and Robert, their passion for this problem space was immediately apparent. Before Pylon, many customer support platforms were finetuned for B2C. Pylon prioritizes B2B-specific needs and meets companies where they are—in chat software like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord—to resolve issues promptly, increasing win rates and strengthening customer relationships. We’re proud to deepen our partnership with Marty, Advith, Robert, and the entire team by investing in Pylon’s $17M Series A.

American industrial resilience is more than an economic opportunity—it’s a strategic imperative. And Re:Build Manufacturing is bringing that to life. The Re:Build story started decades ago when the developing degradation of the U.S. industrial base inspired Jeff Wilke and Miles Arnone to enroll in MIT’s “Leaders for Manufacturing” graduate program. Their paths diverged when Jeff built the consumer business at Amazon, effectively reinventing direct-to-consumer distribution. Meanwhile, Miles became the president of many emerging U.S.-based machine tool companies and managed manufacturing-focused private equity firms. In 2020, their paths converged once again, and Re:Build was founded to bring back high-quality, cost-competitive manufacturing to U.S. soil. Re:Build offers a renewed vision of American industry in the image of a Japanese keiretsu — an alliance of generationally-run advanced engineering businesses that collaborate to provide customers with the capabilities to design, manufacture and produce their products in the U.S. Re:Build works locally with aerospace & defense, automotive, healthcare and cleantech customers, deploying their wide-range of capabilities and engineering acumen. Today, Re:Build comprises 13 businesses across multiple engineering disciplines. We’re proud to invest $120M in Re:Build and welcome Jeff, Miles, and the entire team to the GC family. GC’s Teresa Carlson will serve as a Catalyst Advisor. Why we invested by Hemant, Teresa, Paul, Alexa, and the Global Resilience team & The Wall Street Journal exclusive in the comments ↓
