Perspectum, a precision health-tech startup, has completed the first close of its Series C investment round. Oppenheimer Holdings served as the lead investor in the company’s $36 million funding round. This brings the company’s total capital raised to $120 million to date.
The startup manufactures medical imaging technologies to enhance the diagnosis of metabolic illnesses and cancer.
Perspectum is attempting to increase the size of its clientele and spread out across the nation. Perspectum will utilize the fresh capital to speed up the development of its product pipeline for oncology and multiorgan inflammatory disorders in addition to expanding its US operations.
According to Rajarshi Banerjee, CEO of Perspectum, “We are excited to have Oppenheimer and British Patient Capital join our quest to produce safer and more accurate imaging technologies that will help doctors reduce patients’ diagnostic and treatment journeys.”
