Verily closed out 2020 with a massive $700 million funding round that will be used to rapidly scale up its commercial work.

Alphabet’s life sciences and healthcare subsidiary announced the funding round last week, which was led by its parent company and Google holding firm Alphabet as well investors Silver Lake, Temasek, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and other backers.
The capital will be used to support the expansion of some of Verily’s leading commercial businesses, the company said.
