Serial Acquirers Market Update: Funding Milestones for AI and Healthcare Leaders
Canadian Companies Keep 2025 Going with Continued Growth
Canadian AI Platform Secures US Funding to Grow Operations
Montréal-based Vasco has raised $8 million USD in seed funding to boost its AI-driven revenue operations platform, aimed at helping startups overcome commercialization challenges. Led by Inovia Capital, the funding will enhance Vasco's AI solutions and expand its global client base.
Vasco's platform addresses go-to-market hurdles by unifying sales, marketing, and customer success data, providing insights to eliminate revenue blind spots. Their AI offerings identify revenue gaps and suggest improvement strategies, while additional tools monitor data health and customer profiles.
Co-founder and CEO Guillaume Jacquet emphasized the importance of go-to-market fit for B2B companies, noting that many innovations fail due to commercialization issues. This funding is yet another step in Canada’s growth towards being a leader in the AI space, with international investors joining the Canadian scene. Hopefully, it will be a step in the right direction and continue the strides made in 2024 for Canadian AI initiatives and startups.
Healthcare Giant Celebrates Major Milestone and Investment
League, a Toronto-founded healthcare company, has secured a $100-million USD credit facility from RBCx while celebrating hitting 40 million users under contract—a 160% increase year-over-year.
The financing will support League's platform development, sales expansion, and potential mergers and acquisitions. CEO Michael Serbinis highlighted the importance of this capital in scaling the platform to reach 100 million users by 2030.
Founded in 2014, League offers a platform for healthcare providers and payers to facilitate coverage navigation, claims processing, rewards programs, and third-party health app integration.
League recently partnered with Australia's largest private health insurer and has plans to roll out AI-powered features early this year.
Having raised over $235 million in venture capital to date, League is a company to keep an eye on this year as we move towards more advanced healthcare offerings. I believe the space is expected to gain increasing attention as we move further into 2025.
