About
Nabla is a Paris-based clinical AI company founded in 2018 with a mission to reduce the documentation burden that is one of the primary drivers of clinician burnout across health systems globally. The company developed an AI clinical copilot that listens to patient-physician conversations and automatically generates structured clinical notes in the background, allowing clinicians to focus entirely on the patient rather than on documentation. Nabla's core technology applies large language models fine-tuned on medical language and SOAP note structure to produce accurate, editable documentation in real time.\n\nNabla's platform serves more than 85,000 clinicians across 130-plus organizations spanning hospitals, ambulatory practices, and digital health providers. It has facilitated over 20 million patient interactions per year, making it one of the highest-volume ambient AI documentation platforms in the market. The product supports more than 45 medical specialties, with specialty-specific note templates that reflect the distinct documentation requirements of fields ranging from psychiatry to orthopedics. Nabla is evolving its platform toward an Adaptive Agentic architecture, enabling the AI to take actions beyond note-taking — such as ordering follow-ups, drafting referrals, and surfacing clinical decision support.\n\nNabla raised a $70 million Series C to fund US expansion and platform development, following strong adoption in the European market. The company competes in the ambient clinical documentation space alongside Nuance DAX, Suki, and Abridge, but differentiates through its European regulatory expertise, multi-specialty coverage, and its strategic shift toward a full agentic clinical platform. With 20 million annual patient interactions and a clear product roadmap toward autonomous clinical workflow automation, Nabla is well positioned to grow into a broader clinical AI infrastructure role.

About
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. is a Santa Clara, California-based cybersecurity platform company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: PANW) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing network security, cloud security, and AI-driven security operations through three integrated security platforms: Strata (network security — next-generation firewalls, SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access), Prisma Cloud (cloud security posture management, cloud workload protection, CSPM/CWPP), and Cortex (AI-driven security operations — XSIAM extended security intelligence and automation management, XDR endpoint detection and response, XSOAR security orchestration) through approximately 15,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024 (ending July 2024), Palo Alto Networks reported revenues of $8.0 billion (+16% year-over-year), with next-generation security Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR — Prisma Cloud and Cortex subscriptions) growing 42% to $4.2 billion as large enterprise and government customers consolidated security toolsets onto Palo Alto Networks' platform versus maintaining dozens of point solution security vendors. CEO Nikesh Arora (joined 2018 from SoftBank as Chairman and CEO) has executed the "platformization" strategy — convincing large enterprise security buyers to replace 10-15 individual security vendors (email security, endpoint protection, cloud workload protection, network detection) with a consolidated Palo Alto Networks platform contract that provides 80% of point-solution capabilities at 50% of the total cost — using the first-year transition economics to accelerate platform adoption through deferred commitment offers (paying a lower platform price in year 1 in exchange for multi-year platform commitment in years 2-4).
