Square 1 Bank Announces Credit Facility to AliveCor, Inc.
15 Abril 2015 - 7:00AM
Square 1 Bank, the premier banking partner to entrepreneurs and the
venture capital community, today announced that it has provided a
$3 million credit facility to new client AliveCor, a mobile health
company that helps users take control of their heart health using
the AliveCor® Heart Monitor and free AliveECG application (app).
Proceeds of the credit facility will provide the company with
working capital to continue product development and pursue
strategic growth opportunities.
Founded in 2011, AliveCor's technologies help physicians
identify undiagnosed heart conditions earlier and offer new ways
for diagnosed patients to manage their conditions. The AliveCor
Heart Monitor records, displays, stores and transfers
single-channel ECG rhythms wirelessly, using the free AliveECG app.
An FDA cleared algorithm is also included in the AliveECG app which
can detect for atrial fibrillation, the most common form of cardiac
arrhythmia.
"We are continuing to achieve many significant milestones. In
March, our users recorded more than 200,000 ECGs, pushing us past
two million ECGs recorded. Additionally in Q1, we shipped a record
9,000 devices," said Euan Thomson, president and chief executive
officer at AliveCor. "We are committed to continuing to grow and
innovate in the cardiac health market. With this additional
capital, we have the opportunity to invest and develop our
technologies to ensure we meet the needs of both new and existing
patients and physicians."
Ben Colombo, managing director in Square 1 Bank's life sciences
practice, added, "With investor backing from Khosla Ventures,
AliveCor has positioned itself as a leader in the mobile health
industry. We are excited to support their commitment to patient
care and mission to treat preventative heart conditions."
