“MEDA Angels has been an excellent partner for DynamiCare. Their network brings a wealth of medical expertise and understanding of the clinical and business environment that we operate in. When other investors just wanted to follow, MEDA was willing to lead. MEDA’s rigorous due diligence has been an asset in convincing other investors to join in. I highly recommend MEDA Angels to any entrepreneur in the healthcare industry.”
