Zarminali Pediatrics raised a $110 million Series A round led by Healthier Capital, CEO Danish Qureshi tells Axios Pro exclusively.

Why it matters: The company joins several health tech startups aiming to change how pediatric care is delivered.

What's next: The company could acquire physician practices and technology assets as it eyes integrating telehealth, Qureshi says. 

Zarminali can be flexible when it comes to acquiring practices versus hiring its own clinicians, says Holly Maloney, an MD with Zarminali backer General Catalyst. 

With an eight-state footprint currently, the company aims to be in 30 states in the next 24 months.

How it works: Chicago-based Zarminali operates a multi-specialty pediatric group, operating 28 in-person clinics offering primary and urgent care. 

Founded in 2024, the company plans to stick with its commercial, fee-for-service model, Qureshi says. 

This year, Zarminali plans to add speech, behavioral and occupational therapies, alongside medical specialties like dermatology and allergy testing.

Follow the money: The Series A round gives the company approximately 24 months of runway, but Qureshi says it could raise before then.

New investor K2 HealthVentures joined Healthier Capital and General Catalyst. Zarminali has raised $150 million to-date.

State of play: Pediatric health tech startups have seen a consistent flow of deals in recent months. 

Family health company Pomelo Care raised $92 million at a $1.7 billion post-money valuation earlier this month, with plans to expand into specialties like pediatrics.

Pediatric health startup Hazel Health merged with telemental health company Little Otter in October.  

Imagine Pediatrics raised a $67 million Series B in September for virtual special needs care. 

Catch up quick: Zarminali was targeting $80 million with this raise, Axios Pro reported in May.

Zarminali raised $40 million in a seed round from General Catalyst in November 2024.
