Pune-based healthtech startup CureMeAbroad has raised $1.1 million in a pre-seed funding round led by healthcare-focused venture capital firm SteerX Ventures, with participation from existing investor AIRA. The funding will support the company’s expansion of its cross-border healthcare platform, hospital partnerships and technology capabilities.
Founded in 2025 by Aditya Oza and Mikhail Bohra, CureMeAbroad operates a digital platform that helps international patients identify and access medical treatment in different countries. Its services include hospital discovery, provider verification, treatment cost estimates, appointment bookings and assistance throughout the medical travel process.
The platform enables patients to compare healthcare providers and assess hospital accreditation against Joint Commission International (JCI) or equivalent national standards. It combines healthcare discovery, treatment planning and patient coordination to support individuals seeking treatment outside their home countries.
CureMeAbroad plans to deploy the new capital to expand its network of accredited hospitals, enter additional international patient markets and improve its AI-powered technology. The startup also intends to recruit across its operations and technology functions.
As part of its expansion, the company plans to broaden its treatment offerings into non-elective medical specialties, including orthopaedics and oncology. It is also exploring physical experience centres in selected international markets to support patients considering treatment overseas.
CureMeAbroad reported an annualised patient treatment booking run rate of $4.8 million, with a hospital network spanning six countries. Its main patient source markets include the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. The booking run rate represents the annualised value of treatments booked through the platform, rather than the company’s revenue.
The startup is targeting $100 million in annual patient treatment bookings by FY2028 as it expands its international hospital network and healthcare coordination services.
