The medical technology company HeartFlow is now valued at over $1 billion, the latest company to hit the category threshold for the most highly valued startups.
HeartFlow is expected to collect $150 million in a new fundraising round, according to a new regulatory filing in Delaware uncovered by PitchBook. At a price of about $25.33 per share, HeartFlow will have a valuation of $1.4 billion.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It last raised money at a $760 million valuation in May 2016, according to PitchBook.
HeartFlow, founded in 2010, sells a product to doctors to detect coronary artery disease.
Investors have included U.S. Venture Partners, GE Ventures and the venture fund of insurer Blue Cross Blue Shield. The new backers of this funding round are not immediately known.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
