Shiv Rao has always been really clear with me about what the best thing about being a doctor is.
In February, when I profiled Rao—CEO and cofounder of Abridge, and a practicing cardiologist—he told me that it was growing old with your patients, living a full life together. Rao himself has multiple lives, still showing up to take on clinical shifts and building Abridge, a healthcare AI startup that’s made its name in medical transcription. We catch up because Abridge is barreling towards its future rapidly—the company just raised a $300 million Series E led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Khosla Ventures.
