Meddik Grabs $750K From Chris Dixon, Founder Collective & More To Build A Better WebMD

Screen shot 2012-05-23 at 6.27.19 PMThanks to health-focused startup accelerators like San Francisco-based Rock Health and New York City-based BluePrint Health lacking intimate familiarity with HIPAA or med school experience is no longer a disqualifier for entrepreneurs looking to enter the health space. There are plenty of problems to tackle, and there's growth capital to be found.To that point: One of the first graduates of BluePrint's healthtech accelerator is a startup called Meddik, which wants to combine the Web's medical data with advice from regular people (and experts) to create a smart repository for health information. To give it the fuel it needs as it gears up for launch later this summer, the startup is today announcing that it has raised $750K in seed funding from a flock of notable angel and early-stage VCs, including Chris Dixon, Nat Turner, Zach Weinberg, Bob Stern, Vivek Garipalli, as well as Collaborative Fund, Founder Collective, Great Oaks, and Silicon Badia.
