Congrats to MDaaS Global on closing their seed round and e.pop AI on their refreshed logo and app!  🎉

MDaaS Global

MDaaS Global, a chain of modern, tech-enabled diagnostic centers across Nigeria, has raised $2.3 million in a seed extension led by Newtown Partners via the Imperial Venture Fund.

With this funding, the company is launching ‘SentinelX’, a digital health membership that champions preventive, personalized, and continuous care using proprietary technology.

e.pop AI

Kudos to e.pop, an electronic proof of payment application reducing your carbon footprint, on refreshing their beta app and logo to match their sustainable values.

The app was created to eliminate the need for paper receipts, thus reducing the amount of BPA-filled slips that end up in our land fills and our system.

Check out their new look!
