Peter Foley’s home health-testing firm LetsGetChecked has raised a $150m (€123m) Series D funding round, valuing the company at over $1bn. It makes LetsGetChecked one of a small handful of Irish ‘unicorn’ companies. It brings funding to the company founded by Mr Foley in 2015 to $260m (€214m). Mr Foley told the Irish Independent that the company will not be taking its ‘unicorn’ status as a “measure of success”. Others participating in the round included CommonFund Capital, Illumina Ventures, Optum Ventures, Transformation Capital, HLM Venture Partners, and Qiming Venture Partners USA.
