LifeImage Inc. raised $5.2 million of a planned $10 million Series B round.
The Newton, Massachusetts-based medical image e-sharing firm plans to use the financing to expand its sales and marketing endeavors, in addition to engineering and product development, CFO John Reichenbach told MassDevice. The financing proceeds will also cover the company’s negative cash flow, he said.
New investor Cardinal Partners of Princeton, New Jersey, led the round. Major investors from LifeImage’s previous round, including Long River Ventures, Massachusetts Technology Development Corp. and Partners Innovation Fund, were also involved. EMC Corp. (NYSE: EMC), which is interested in LifeImage because of the massive amount of image data that the company will potentially be storing, is also a strategic investor, Reichenbach said.
