EHR-agnostic ambient AI for clinicians: real-time ambient listening and dictation that generates clinical notes in seconds across 55+ specialties and 35 languages, expanding into clinical coding (ICD-10/HCC/E&M), clinical documentation integrity, and agentic EHR actions (orders, commands, pre-charting). Sells to health systems, medical groups, and FQHCs; by mid-2026 used across 190+ healthcare organizations handling 40M+ annual patient encounters (doubled from ~20M at the June 2025 Series C), with distribution through direct enterprise sales, Epic/Oracle Cerner integrations, the athenahealth Marketplace (30+ provider groups in year one), and the Nabla Connect embeddable module.
Revenue model
B2B SaaS: per-clinician subscription licenses sold to health systems, medical groups and FQHCs (individual plans reported around $119/clinician/month; enterprise contracts priced on deployment scale and modules such as dictation, coding, and Nabla Connect EHR embedding; also distributed via the athenahealth Marketplace).
No official figure. Getlatka estimated ~$27.8M ARR for 2025; company disclosed 5x ARR growth in the 6 months before its June 2025 Series C. Usage has since roughly doubled: 40M+ annual patient encounters across 190+ healthcare organizations by mid-2026 (vs 20M/130+ at Series C), with the company targeting 80M encounters, implying 2026 revenue meaningfully above the 2025 estimate. Series C valuation undisclosed; last disclosed valuation was ~$180M at the Jan 2024 Series B. Industry context: ambient scribes generated ~$600M market revenue in 2025 and Becker's pegs Nabla at ~4% market share. Fact-check 2026-07: Series C ($70M, Jun 2025, HV Capital lead), $120M total raised, ~$180M Series B valuation, and the Dec 2025 CEO transition (Lebrun to AMI, Groll interim ops lead, no permanent CEO yet) all independently confirmed; headcount unconfirmed (aggregators conflict: ~143 per Tracxn Feb 2026 vs ~50 per PitchBook), so left null.
Stated: move from ambient documentation to a full agentic clinical platform - proactive coding agent, context-aware agent that initiates orders and EHR commands, and custom agents for nurses and inpatient settings - unified with ambient listening and dictation; 2026 plan is to scale documentation/dictation while extending into downstream workflows (advanced coding support, deeper EHR integrations, organization-specific configurations). Distribution strategy is EHR-agnostic and increasingly channel-led: Nabla Connect embeds ambient AI in any EHR, Epic/Oracle Cerner integrations, athenahealth Marketplace, plus the Navina partnership for pre-visit clinical intelligence. Inferred: differentiate on clinical evidence (NEJM AI RCT, Iowa/Denver Health/Carle studies) and frontier-research access via the AMI (Yann LeCun) relationship, aiming at FDA-certifiable autonomous clinical AI; monetize beyond burnout relief into revenue-cycle ROI (coding, CDI, documentation precision - University of Toledo case study) to justify enterprise pricing while competing as the capital-efficient, privacy-forward mid-market alternative to Abridge/Ambience.
Moderate. Peer-reviewed outcome evidence (NEJM AI trial, University of Iowa, Denver Health, Carle), deep multi-EHR workflow integrations plus an athenahealth channel, a 190+ org install base processing 40M+ encounters/year, multilingual coverage (35 languages), a distinctive privacy architecture (browser-local processing), and privileged - though contractually informal - access to AMI's world-model research. But core ambient documentation is commoditizing, switching costs are modest, Nabla holds only ~4% market share, and rivals (Abridge at $5.3B valuation, Ambience, Microsoft/Nuance) are far better capitalized. The moat depends on converting clinical trust, channel distribution, and AMI research access into stickier agentic and revenue-cycle workflows before the giants bundle them.
Agentic clinical AI platform: proactive coding agent, context-aware agent executing EHR orders/commands, and care-setting-specific agents
highExplicit Series C use-of-funds and 2026 roadmap ('more advanced coding support, deeper EHR integrations, flexible configurations'); Nabla Connect and the Navina partnership build the rails, and current Paris ML/full-stack engineering hiring supports the platform build-out
World-model-based, FDA-certifiable autonomous clinical AI via the AMI (Yann LeCun) relationship
mediumDec 2025 partnership gives first access to AMI's technology, and AMI's $1.03B March 2026 raise funds the research; but STAT confirms no equity or licensing agreement yet, so the bet rests on Lebrun's dual role rather than contracts
Revenue-cycle monetization: coding, CDI and documentation-precision products that pay for themselves in reimbursement
highUniversity of Toledo expansion (Apr 2026) explicitly cites documentation-precision and revenue-cycle performance gains; the coding agent (ICD-10/HCC/E&M) is the first named agent and counters Abridge's Best-in-KLAS RCM position
Expansion beyond physicians into nursing, inpatient, and new care settings (FQHCs, behavioral health)
mediumCustom Care Setting Agent on roadmap; Aultman deployment spans inpatient and outpatient; deals with Neighborhood Healthcare, Catalight, Tia and the Feb 2026 Chief Clinical Product Officer hire signal breadth
EHR-agnostic embedded and marketplace distribution (Nabla Connect inside any EHR, athenahealth Marketplace) rather than standalone app
highOct 2025 Nabla Connect launch, 30+ provider groups via athenahealth Marketplace in year one, and Oracle Cerner/Epic systemwide deployments (Aultman, M Health Fairview) show a platform-embedding go-to-market that doubled encounters to 40M+ in a year

Virtualist primary-care physician and clinical informaticist, hired to ground Nabla's agentic products in real-world clinical practice.
- Rapid commercial traction: 190+ healthcare organizations and 40M+ annual encounters by mid-2026 (doubled from 20M in a year), 5x ARR growth in the 6 months pre-Series C
- Strong clinical evidence base: NEJM AI randomized trial (Dec 2025) plus peer-reviewed Iowa (30% burnout reduction), Carle Health, and Denver Health studies showing documentation-time and satisfaction gains
- EHR-agnostic distribution: Nabla Connect plug-and-play module, Epic and Oracle Cerner integrations, and athenahealth Marketplace channel (30+ provider groups in first year)
- Elite AI pedigree (Wit.ai/FAIR founders) and privileged early access to Yann LeCun's AMI world-model research ($1.03B raised in Mar 2026), with Lebrun bridging both companies
- Capital-efficient: reached this scale on $120M total raised, a fraction of Abridge's $1.1B+ war chest
- Breadth of product: ambient notes, dictation, coding/CDI, multilingual support (35 languages) across 55+ specialties; privacy posture (browser-local processing, no server-side patient-data storage) resonates with safety-net and EU buyers
- Leadership flux: founder-CEO Alex Lebrun departed to run AMI in Dec 2025 and the permanent-CEO search remains unresolved as of July 2026, with COO Groll running operations
- Distant #4-or-lower market position: ~4% ambient-scribe market share (Becker's) vs Abridge ~30% and Ambience ~13%, and no Best in KLAS wins while Abridge took the award two years running
- Much smaller war chest: $120M raised vs Abridge's $1.1B+ (Series E + Apr 2026 extension at $5.3B valuation) and Ambience's $243M Series C, limiting enterprise land-grab spend
- Revenue still modest (~$28M est. 2025) in a market where giant health systems favor consolidated, best-of-KLAS vendors
- Core scribe product is commoditizing as Epic, Microsoft/Nuance DAX and dozens of startups offer similar ambient documentation; head-to-head RCT data showed only ~10% note-time reduction vs control
- Split Paris/NYC footprint with engineering hiring still concentrated in Paris (current openings are Paris-based engineering/ML roles) while the revenue battleground is US enterprise health systems
- AMI relationship is informal: STAT reported (Mar 2026) there is still no equity or licensing agreement, so the headline differentiator rests on personal ties, not contracts
- Commoditization and bundling: Microsoft/Nuance DAX and EHR-native ambient features could squeeze pricing and win enterprise deals by default; Abridge's Best-in-KLAS brand and $1.1B+ funding compound the pressure
- Heavy strategic dependence on the unproven AMI world-model bet - and STAT reports no formal equity or licensing agreement exists, so exclusivity could evaporate or AMI could serve rivals
- Regulatory and liability exposure as it moves from documentation into agentic EHR actions and autonomous coding (FDA pathway explicitly targeted but uncertain); coding/CDI expansion raises payer-audit and compliance liability
- CEO vacancy dragging past six months: prolonged interim leadership could slow fundraising, enterprise sales, and talent retention, especially with Lebrun's attention on AMI
- Hallucination/accuracy scrutiny: researchers publicly flagged Whisper-based transcription inventing content in Nabla's tool (Oct 2024); any repeat in agentic or coding contexts would be far more damaging clinically and reputationally
- Encounter growth outpacing disclosed revenue: heavy usage via marketplace/channel deals may monetize at lower per-clinician rates, pressuring unit economics against better-funded rivals
