Vitta positions itself in the Brazilian health-tech sector by offering integrated solutions for both healthcare providers and corporate clients. Founded in 2014 by Lucas Lacerda and Joao Gabriel Alkmim in São Paulo, Brazil, the company initially focused on developing practice management software for medical clinics. Its core product, ClinicWeb, is a cloud-based system providing tools like online appointment scheduling, electronic medical records, and financial management, aiming to enhance operational efficiency for small to medium-sized medical offices.
The company's trajectory includes a significant milestone in October 2016 with the acquisition of ClinicWeb, which expanded its technological capabilities. By 2016, Vitta had already expanded its reach to 25 Brazilian states, serving over 15,000 doctors. A key funding event occurred in June 2018, when Vitta secured a Series A round of approximately $4.91 million from investors including Discovery Capital and b2venture, which fueled its growth. In May 2020, Vitta was acquired by StoneCo, a major Brazilian financial technology company. This acquisition was a strategic move for Stone to enter the healthcare market and leverage Vitta's services for its extensive network of merchant clients.
Under the StoneCo umbrella, Vitta has broadened its business model. Beyond its SaaS offering for clinics, Vitta now operates as a health benefits brokerage, managing corporate health plans and offering its own plans in partnership with insurance companies. A central component of this offering is the "Digital Hospital," which provides telemedicine and 24/7 support via phone and WhatsApp, a service StoneCo itself utilized before the acquisition. This dual approach targets two main client segments: healthcare providers in need of management software and companies of various sizes seeking to provide health benefits to their employees, claiming to reduce medical claim loss ratios through proactive health management.
