- Jutro Medical
Participated · Series A · Dec 2025
Founded in 2020, Jutro Medical operates a network of technology-enabled primary care clinics supported by a proprietary electronic health record (EHR) and unified operations platform. Its AI agents automate intake, documentation, and other administrative tasks so clinicians can focus on diagnosis and treatment; these agents already handle thousands of patient interactions each month. The company has grown from a single clinic to an integrated operator that added nine clinics in 2024 and plans roughly 20 acquisitions per year to accelerate consolidation of Europe’s fragmented primary care sector. By running clinics on its own software, Jutro identifies workflows ripe for automation, embedding AI directly into day-to-day operations while still giving patients the option of traditional appointments. The business is positioning itself against industry pressures such as clinician shortages and paper-based workflows that slow access to care. To date, Jutro Medical has raised €36 million, including the latest extension, to finance clinic acquisitions, platform enhancements, and expansion into additional European markets. While revenue figures are not disclosed, the company is targeting pan-European scale in a primary care market that exceeds €200 billion annually.
