Summary
Lassie said its Andreessen Horowitz-led Series A will accelerate hiring, with the AI medical-office automation startup aiming to expand to 100 employees from 20 within months.
The funding follows rapid early growth: founding sales lead Bennett Richter said Lassie scaled from six employees working in a garage to 20 in his 19 months at the company.
Richter tied investor interest to Lassie’s AI-powered systems for medical office automation and said backing from a16z can transform a startup’s growth trajectory overnight.
The round also highlights Richter’s rise from University of Miami entrepreneurship graduate to early startup operator, a milestone he and faculty framed as a signal that Miami alumni can compete for top-tier AI venture capital.
