Utrecht, August 25th, 2021 – In addition to the 2020 investment of EIT Health, MRIguidance has now raised $1.25 Million from the American venture capital firm Mammoth Scientific. This investment will allow MRIguidance to continue the company’s growth path. After market entry in Europe in the beginning of 2021, MRIguidance will use the new funds to prepare for market roll-out in the U.S.
Growth
BoneMRI for the spine is expected to get market access in Europe later this year. Tommy Martin, CEO of Mammoth said that this spine application specifically caught the attention of Mammoth Scientific. “We were made aware of MRIguidance through different spine surgeons from our network. We believe BoneMRI has the potential to be a game changing innovation in radiology and spine surgery. As such, MRIguidance is a perfect addition to our portfolio, and we look forward to working with the team.”
