Novu today announced it has raised $20M in funding from SSM Partners and Noro-Moseley Partners. The company will use the funding to further cement its leadership position and propel its technology and product roadmap to support existing and new market opportunities.

The Novu platform has proven its pedigree working with the nation's leading payers in Medicare, Medicaid and other complex government programs. To date, insurers, providers and employers have leveraged Novu's ability to create and deliver personalized health experiences that drive positive health and business outcomes. The new capital will allow Novu to continue to rapidly catalyze this growth and success.

'The health care system, to date, has not been successful in moving past a transactional relationship with the consumer, resulting in low rates of engagement and lack of trust,' said Tom Wicka, CEO of Novu. 'Novu creates a meaningful connection between individuals and the health system, delivering new ways of reaching consumers and efficiencies for technologies, protocols and care teams. SSM and Noro-Moseley have significant insight and connections in both technology and healthcare that will help propel this innovative vision and our success, and we are excited to partner with them in this effort.'

Novu's SaaS platform creates tailored experiences that combine rewards, education, challenges and social features with personalization, behavioral science and gamification to drive consumer engagement in partnership with the health care system. Through Novu, payers, providers and employers can deliver, incent and track business outcomes and protocols within the frame of a new consumer experience.

'The Novu team has combined consumer marketing expertise with healthcare expertise to build a platform that is unmatched in the industry,' said Casey West of SSM Partners who is joining Novu's Board of Directors. 'Novu's ability to engage with health plan members in a positive way and assist them in closing gaps in care really caught our attention. They are able to put their enviable consumer marketing talents to work for the healthcare industry.'

'We are very enthusiastic to partner with Novu and its leadership to support the continued growth and expansion of the Company,' said Allen Moseley of Noro-Moseley Partners who is joining Novu's Board of Directors. 'Novu has already demonstrated real value for existing customers in the rapidly expanding consumer engagement market for managed care plans. We believe the company's comprehensive solution will continue to drive significant business growth, innovation, and industry leadership.'
