HealthCentral takes cash from Barry Diller, Michael Moritz
HealthCentral just announced $50 million in funding. The round included a major investment from IAC and smaller contributions from prior investors Sequoia Capital, Carlyle Group and Polaris Venture Partners. HealthCentral operates several health-related websites, including the long-troubled DrKoop.com, which was once a publicly traded company a bubble or two ago. Here's how their traffic looked last year, according to Compete. It's nice and all, but stick around for the one comparing HealthCentral to WebMD. If I used the word pwnage, I would. But I don't.
Here's HealthCentral.com and its other sites.
And now, versus WebMD.
Looks pretty bad for HealthCentral, but it's early yet. The site only changed its name to HealthCentral in 2006.
