Talking point: The VitalOne device is not yet available for sale and the company said the funding will be used for the product’s late-stage development, verification and validation activities, as well as starting clinical studies. It’s one of several companies working toward modernizing blood testing, despite being under the shadow of failed startup Theranos. Its founder Elizabeth Holmes, which had raised more than US$1 billion according to PitchBook, is now serving an 11-year sentence after being convicted of fraud and conspiracy. Loblaw-affiliated Wittington Ventures co-led a US$105-million Series C in San Diego-based Truvian in 2021.
