Caristix Closes Seed Funding Round from Real Ventures and Anges Quebec Angel Investors
Caristix, a healthcare IT startup transforming data integration and interoperability, announced today that it has closed a round of seed financing led by Real Ventures with participation from Anges Quebec investors. The amount of the financing was not disclosed. Caristix was one of the companies that presented at Startup Festival in the summer.
The funding will fuel growth activities, including customer acquisition in the US and new product development to execute on the company’s vision. JS Cournoyer from Real Ventures and serial entrepreneur Martin Ouellet from Anges Québec have joined the Caristix board.
“The team is excited to have Real Ventures and Anges Québec on-board. Their investment helps us fund our plan to scale Caristix. Our current strategic focus is to get healthcare IT analysts to adopt Caristix software. Our initiative around our upcoming free application came together as a direct result of our first conversations with JS at Real. And with Martin’s experience in Tier 1 customer acquisition in the enterprise software space, we’re well-positioned to execute on our growth objectives,” said Stéphane Vigot, CEO and co-founder of Caristix.
“What got me interested in Caristix was Stéphane’s drive and determination. What got me hooked was the company’s vision. With the team’s strength in interfacing, they are well-positioned to execute on their vision of integrating the huge mass of data in hospitals and creating a data platform to dramatically simplify analytics,” said Martin Ouellet. Ouellet is currently CEO of Genia, a social gaming startup. He also founded Taleo, the leading SaaS HR provider.
“We are thrilled to invest in Caristix. They have a killer combination of product and technical focus,” said JS Cournoyer. “Today, Caristix is targeting hospitals and healthcare IT vendors to drive the manual work out of interfacing and interoperability. Their roadmap takes them much further, so disparate clinical and operational data in hospitals can come together to drive decision-making. We can’t wait to see it happen.”
