Lumira Capital Announces Investment in Vendorlink.ca

Vendorlink.ca, the premier provider of web-based vendor management solutions for Canadian hospitals, announced today that it has completed a financing round which was led by Lumira Capital. 

Vendorlink.ca’s services and solutions allow hospitals to compile and manage all the data required to  credential a vendor for internal and government policy compliance. Vendorlink.ca acts as a third party  to verify, store, and monitor all the information hospitals require from vendors, while at the same time  providing those vendors with the appropriate tools to ensure that they are properly trained. This  process is critical to maintaining the highest standard of patient safety and privacy. By facilitating the  vendor management process, Vendorlink.ca improves the transparency and trust between hospitals and  their suppliers. 

Commenting on the investment Peter van der Velden, managing general partner of Lumira Capital, noted “We are really excited to have partnered with Vendorlink.ca. Within the Canadian health care  system there is an acute need to provide an effective and cost-efficient solution to ensure that all  vendors have appropriate training, and credentials when entering hospitals. Michele Floh and her team have done a terrific job building the company to date and this round of financing will enable  Vendorlink.ca to accelerate its plan of rolling out its services to hospitals across Canada.”  Michele Floh, CEO of Vendorlink.ca,stated “We spent a lot of time evaluating and considering the right firm to partner with, and we are very pleased to have Lumira join our team. Early on, Lumira was able to demonstrate their engagement and deep knowledge of the Canadian healthcare system, which was really what we were looking for in a partner. Already our signed contracts impact over 23 hospitals in Quebec and Ontario and this investment will allow us to ensure that Vendorlink.ca has the resources to rapidly increase our footprint and provide the highest level of service to our hospitals and member vendors. This is an exciting phase in the company’s history and we believe we are well positioned for anoutstanding future.”
