Vocca lands $20M Series A to grow its AI medical receptionist
What's the deal? French startup VoccaDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has raised a $20 million Series A led by Norrsken, Europe's largest early-stage impact fund. Heal CapitalDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, Speedinvest, and Firstminute Capital also joined, alongside angels including the founders of Alan and Datadog.
What does Vocca do? Founded in July 2024 by Eliott Hoffenberg and Hugo Danet, it builds an AI voice assistant that handles patient calls for medical offices — booking appointments, answering questions, and flagging urgent cases. The tool detects medical terms, suggests slots, and takes on administrative tasks that burden overstretched reception staff.
Why now? The round lands a year after Vocca raised €4.7 million, with the same founders of Alan and Datadog among earlier backers in September 2025. In that year, the startup says it grew from 2,000 to 15,000 practitioners across 1,500 practices and about 20 specialties in the US and Europe.
Vocca now handles more than one million patient interactions a month and says it processes 70% of conversations end to end, without human input. Clients include DAG DentalDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, Point VisionDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, Résonance ImagerieDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, and the Rothschild Foundation HospitalDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →.
The frame: At $20 million, the round ranks among the largest 10% of all French Series A deals on record, from a sample of 1,711.
Heading stateside. Vocca has opened a New York office to push into the US, where administration still makes up a quarter of healthcare spending — much of it tied to phone calls. The company employs around 40 people between Paris and New York and plans to hire 40 more on both sides of the Atlantic by year-end.
What's the endgame? The funding will push Vocca beyond voice to improve medical booking more broadly and to cover more specialties. "Doctors want an AI that works like their best receptionist, that follows the rules of their specialty to the letter and fills their schedule further, without sacrificing quality," said Hoffenberg, co-founder and chief executive officer.

The signal: Medical offices often run outdated, incompatible software, adding strain amid budget cuts. Vocca is betting that AI voice tools can absorb the administrative load — and that the US market, with its heavier paperwork burden, is where that bet pays off.
