Avicia, Inc. , a leading provider of state-of-the-art telemedicine solutions, today announced the closing of an equity financing round led by NextGen Angels along with Blu Venture Investors and Middleland Capital. The new funding will continue to be used to fuel the rapidly growing telemedicine company. With this funding round, Avizia welcomes Edward Kennedy, CEO and President of Tollgrade Communications, to its Board of Directors.

Avizia has also recently established a business banking relationship with Silicon Valley Bank

‘This new financial support will help us accelerate Avizia’s mission to revolutionize healthcare delivery with advanced integrated care solutions,’ said Mike Baird, CEO of Avizia. ‘As healthcare providers seek to improve the quality and accessibility of patient care, we believe that telemedicine will become a critical mission to achieve these objectives. ”

The capital increase follows on from the launch by Avizia of its new CA300 telemedicine system at ATA 2014. The funding will help Avizia to continue to expand its sales channels, expand its product line and increase market awareness.

‘NextGen Angels is taking an exceptionally entrepreneurial approach precisely so that we have the opportunity to work with superb teams like Avizia’s,’ said NextGen Angels Managing Director Brett Gibson. ‘Avizia is positioned at the forefront of a new and fast-growing industry with an unusually powerful technology. ”
