FinSMEs and the Raise Track Update say Basis Set Ventures led. This page uses Basis Set Ventures as the lead. Lan Xuexhao is not a separate name on the issue's investor line, so there is no page for that name.

The release calls Frank Williams the founder of Evolent Health. The dozen additional healthcare investors, family offices, and technology founders are not named, so they have no pages.
