Sermo Raises $3 Million in First Round of Venture Capital - Cambridge, MA

Sermo, a Cambridge-based online community for physicians, has raised $3 million in its first round of venture capital, led by Longworth Venture Partners. Sermo was founded in 2005 and introduced during a pilot phase in July 2006. The company said that the new funding will support the growth of its system, which allows physicians nationwide to discuss observations and unanswered clinical questions from their daily practice, "challenging or corroborating each other's opinions in order to improve patient care."
