There's a heart monitoring solution, dear reader(s), yes, you'll be glad to hear. 'You don't have a heart, boss.' Ha! I'm all heart, Voice. 'Where's my pay rise, then? Actually, where's my pay?' Ha, ha, ha! Do some bloody work first!
DUBLIN, Ireland, January 30, 2018 - Foundry Innovation & Research 1, Ltd. ("FIRE1"), today announced the close of a Series C financing totaling EUR 40 Million. The financing was led by new investor Glide Healthcare, with the participation of new investors Gimv and Seventure and all existing investors, including Lightstone Ventures, Medtronic, and New Enterprise Associates. It was also announced that Janke Dittmer, partner at Gilde Healthcare, and Patrick Van Beneden, partner at Gimv, have joined FIRE1's Board of Directors.
Okay. So, uh ... what is it?
Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, FIRE1 is a connected medical device solutions company dedicated to improving outcomes for people suffering with chronic diseases. Its first product is a novel remote monitoring solution to improve outcomes for Heart Failure patients. The FIRE1 team is led by an experienced medical devices team who are working closely with researchers, clinicians, patients and payors to help reduce the burden of heart failure.
Oh, okay. It's really technical medical stuff. It's not about feelings and shit. 'Which probably makes good business sense, boss.' Yes, probably. / Let's hear from Conor -
"This infusion of new capital from these premier investors will enable us to accelerate our progress and deliver on our commitment to help patients with heart failure," said Conor Hanley, FIRE1 CEO and President. "Heart failure is a life-threatening disease and a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems. Managing patients at home with novel digital health-enabled solutions will help intercept the trajectory of the disease and reduce the need for hospitalization."
Okay. Thanks, man.
...
Right. Now on to the serious business. Dear reader(s), have you ever signed up to Amazon Prime by mistake? Normally, when I'm ordering something I manage to avoid it, but they tricked me into signing up this morning. Then I had to jump through a thousand hoops just to cancel it. Talk about dodgy! 'They're dodgy as fuck, boss.' Tell me about it!
And that Jeff Bezos. He's trying to copy Elon Musk now with his rockets. 'Ha! Jeff has the cash, man, but not the expertise. Elon Musk is the real-life Tony Stark, for Christ's sake!' Yeah, I know.
Unbelievable.
Music? I'm sitting here in SILENCE, believe it or not. Sometimes I don't want to listen to music. 'Because it blocks out the cosmos, Mikey? The consciousness ness in your head, like.' Not necessarily, Voice. It all depends on the music. Brian Eno's Apollo is perfect for enticing the cosmos in.
Anyway, laters.
