Partech et al. invest $22.7m in Lifen
A consortium of backers led by Partech has injected €22.7m in France-based Lifen, a healthcare communication software developer.
The round was led by Partech with participation from venture capital backer Idinvest Partners, Majycc eSanté Invest (an investment company specialised in the health sector), and existing investors Serena and Daphni.
The company intends to use the funds to bolster its recruitment efforts and keep expanding in France. In Q3 last year, Daphni and Serena invested €7.5m in a funding round for Lifen. Serena invested from its Data Ventures Fund.
The company intends to use the fresh capital for commercial development throughout France and to expand a system that allows for the digital exchange of medical documents.
