V Bento, SWORD Health, on precision musculoskeletal (MSK) care through AI

In this episode, we sat down with Virgílio “V” Bento, Founder & CEO of SWORD Health.

SWORD Health raised $163M in their latest Series D round led by Sapphire Ventures. This latest fundraising round brings SWORD’s valuation at $2B.
