VerbalizeIt, a startup that connects businesses with translators from around the world, was the big winner at the Colorado State University Blue Ocean Enterprises Challenge on Saturday. The Boulder, CO-based startup took home the top prize of $250,000, along with access to mentoring and other professional services.
Freedom Meditech, a San Diego medical diagnostic company, said it has raised $4.8 million in a Series C financing round, bringing total venture funding to about $14 million in the nine years since the company was founded.
The company also named John Gerace as CEO and as a member of the company’s board of directors.
Gerace previously headed the applied sciences division of Carlsbad, CA-based Life Technologies, leaving at the beginning of 2014 as Waltham, MA-based Thermo Fisher Scientific completed its $13.6 billion acquisition of Life Technologies. Before that, Gerace served as vice president and general manager of the PCR systems business at Life Technologies.
Anyone who has taken care of aging parents or family members knows the agony of navigating all the doctors, insurance claims, and post-hospital care. That last one is its own special nightmare: once patients are discharged, they are basically on their own to find the right rehab facility, nursing home, or home healthcare agency.
And guess where that often leads? Right back to the hospital, which is a huge problem for everyone involved, especially the patient.
Para que la penicilina cambiase la historia de la medicina no fue suficiente con descubrirla. Hubo que convertirla en un medicamento, hacerla llegar a la sociedad. Se trata de un salto fundamental que, hoy por hoy, le cuesta horrores dar a la investigación científica española impulsada fundamentalmente por las universidades.

DataScience, a startup that relies on the labor of data scientists to provide a cloud service non-technical people can use to answer tough questions, announced today that it has taken on $6 million in funding.
Rather than just provide a self-service tool for instantly visualizing data that people upload, DataScience puts an emphasis on the time-consuming work that its experts do, including data cleaning and complex modeling.
“What we’re providing is data science to the business team, and this is something that’s drastically needed,” DataScience founder and chief executive Ian Swanson told VentureBeat in an interview.
HWTrek, a Taipei-based platform that connects hardware startups with manufacturers and other resources, has scored a $4 million series A. The funding was led by WI Harper and ITIC. Legend Star Capital (the investment arm of Legend Holdings, Lenovo’s parent company), Chinese e-commerce platform JD.com, and Tokyo venture capital firm Global Brain also participated.
