ChartSpan Medical Technologies, a South Carolina-based mobile patient medical records developer, today announced it has raised more than $1 million in seed funding, led by investor Don Byrne.
The funding represents the largest amount for a company that has come out of The Iron Yard, a fast-growing accelerator in the Southeast from which ChartSpan emerged. The investment will be used to build the engineering, distribution and marketing teams at ChartSpan.
The investment was led by Byrne, who started Byrne Medical in 1997, focused on improving infection control. Byrne Medical eventually went on to merge with Minntech Corporation to form Medivators Endoscopy Group in August 2011. It was the same year he was named Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year and won the Gulf Coast Area Award for Manufacturing and Distribution.
