MARK ROSS
Co-founder, MindfulGarden
“CABHI’s MC2 program has been a gamechanger for MindfulGarden. Through it, we participated in the prestigious Berkeley SkyDeck Accelerator Global Innovation Partner (GIP) Program. Like Y-Combinator or 500 Startups, SkyDeck is a top-tier global accelerator. Through SkyDeck, MindfulGarden was able to leverage the credibility and vast network of UC Berkeley to connect with key investors, media, health authorities, and others in the US healthcare system. The program enabled us to secure additional non-dilutive capital, and has helped us get our messaging, pitch deck, and investor documents dialed in preparation for a seed financing round to follow.”
MATTHEW SEFATI
Co-founder & COO, Curiato
“Our unique partnership with CABHI provides access to capital and early adopters – CABHI fills a gap in Ontario that exists for health tech companies. Through the market readiness program, Curiato successfully met new growth investors in Silicon Valley and potential clients across the US.”
