#### Congrats to BonBillo alumni and community members on their wins 🏆

| MDaaS Global, a chain of modern, tech-enabled diagnostic centers across Nigeria, [has raised $2.3 million in a seed extension](https://www.mdaas.io/blog/seedextension) led by Newtown Partners via the Imperial Venture Fund. With this funding, the company is launching ‘[SentinelX](https://www.sentinelx.io/)’, a digital health membership that champions preventive, personalized, and continuous care using proprietary technology. |   | 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! |
