Sovato Closes Series B Financing Round

Sovato, a company aiming to scale remote robotic surgery and procedure programs, has closed a Series B financing round. This brings the company’s total funding to $41 million.

The funding will accelerate development of the company’s platform and advance strategic partnerships with surgical robotics companies, healthcare providers, and ecosystem collaborators. Growth-stage venture capital firm Beringea led the round, with significant follow-on investments from existing investors. Notable participants include founding investor Polaris Partners, Intuitive, GS Ventures, Laerdal Million Lives Fund, Puma Venture Capital, Teladoc Health, and other private investors.

Sovato’s system-agnostic platform can remote-enable any surgical, interventional, or diagnostic robotic system to let physicians perform these procedures remotely. The company hopes to be positioned at the front of a major change in healthcare delivery.

The company has integrated with leading robotic systems and has shown the safety and feasibility in preclinical cases conducted over distances ranging from hundreds to thousands of miles in the U.S. and internationally. Sovato said the cases highlight the ability to extend expert surgical care over large distances, emulating a real-world hub-and-spoke model.

“Over half the world’s population lacks access to timely, safe surgical care, and in the U.S., millions are still forced to travel for routine procedures—a challenge that will only grow as surgeon shortages intensify,” said Cynthia Perazzo, co-founder and CEO of Sovato. “Remote robotic surgery and procedure programs provide healthcare organizations with a practical way to extend the reach and impact of skilled surgeons, care teams, and operating rooms—enabling a more sustainable and accessible model of care.”

The company is partnering with healthcare leaders and robotics organizations to establish clinical, operational, and technical guidelines for remote robotic surgery and procedures.

“With this Series B funding and three years of proven momentum, Sovato is well-positioned to scale the only platform creating the market for remote surgery and procedure programs,” said Michael Gross, Beringea managing partner and Sovato board director. “Co-Founders Dr. Yulun Wang, whose innovations have shaped the surgical robotics industry, and Cynthia Perazzo, along with the entire Sovato team, bring the leadership and bold vision to redefine surgical access and healthcare economics.”
