Clarity Pediatrics raises USD 14.5M in Series A round

Clarity Pediatrics, announced $14.5M in Series A funding. The funding round was led by Jackson Square Ventures and welcomed new investors City Light Capital, MassMutual Catalyst Fund II, GingerBread Capital, Scrub Capital and Operator Collective. Existing investors, including Rethink Impact, Maverick Ventures and Homebrew, also participated. This investment supports Clarity Pediatrics’ planned launch of obesity services in early 2026, further development of their innovative virtual clinic platform, and continued geographic expansion to serve even more American families.

“Obesity is the fastest growing pediatric chronic condition in the US today, quadrupling in prevalence over the last 40 years. The prevalence of pediatric obesity is higher in Black and Hispanic children, especially those from low income families covered by Medicaid,” shared Dr. Alesandro Larrazabal, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Clarity Pediatrics. “As a pediatrician-led organization, we’re committed to equipping providers and families with evidence-based solutions that improve both access and outcomes for all children with chronic conditions. Our expansion into pediatric obesity care with this funding is the next step in this journey.”

Over 40% of school-aged kids and adolescents manage at least one ongoing chronic condition such as asthma, obesity, or behavioral and learning challenges. Yet the demand for pediatric specialists far exceeds availability, creating widespread ripple effects for families, schools, and communities. Limited insurance coverage and long wait times further compound the problem, leaving millions of children without timely, essential care. Clarity Pediatrics addresses this pediatric chronic care gap through an innovative model that integrates personalized support, expert multi-specialty care teams, and convenient telehealth appointments, fully covered by insurance, to ensure children receive the comprehensive, continuous care they need.

Clarity’s innovative care model — proven effective in ADHD and anxiety care and now poised to drive meaningful impact in pediatric obesity — delivers care grounded in the strongest evidence from the American Academy of Pediatrics clinical guidelines. Because chronic conditions require multi-specialty expertise, families are supported throughout their treatment journey by pediatricians and specialists working at the top of their license. The model emphasizes engaging, family-centered group care, which has been shown to improve outcomes.

“Every pediatrician I have spoken with says the same thing: Clarity is delivering the gold standard of care for chronic pediatric conditions that families simply cannot access anywhere else,” said Victor Echevarria, Managing Director at Jackson Square Ventures. “That kind of direct feedback from front-line clinicians was practically all I needed to know to invest. Clarity is not offering point solutions or stand alone therapy. They are building a true pediatric specialty platform that brings behavioral therapy, behavioral parent coaching, and medical oversight together in one place. Their commitment to clinical excellence, not shortcuts, is what sets them apart and what will change the trajectory of health for millions of children.”

“89% of parents who participate in our group behavioral programs said Clarity had a ‘large’ impact on their lives, and 3 in 4 families report that challenging child behaviors improved after only 8 weeks,” said CEO and co-founder Christina LaMontagne. “With a focus on early intervention and long-term support, Clarity aims to reduce symptoms, suffering, and overall healthcare costs, ultimately putting children on a healthier path for life.”
