MedStack secures $3.93 million CAD to capitalize on increased demand for healthtech
Healthcare security, privacy, and compliance startup MedStack has raised $3.93 million CAD ($3.1 million USD) to bolster its offering and support its expansion plans.
The all-equity round was led by existing investors Blu Venture Investors (BVI) and Telus Ventures. It saw participation from existing investor Donville Kent Asset Management, and new investors York IE, Argonautic Ventures, Archangel Network of Funds, and MFD Investments. Over half of the funding associated with this round came from new investors.
