Dallas, Texas, June 15, 2023

Aliform, Inc., a startup company specializing in devices for minimally-invasive skin surgery, is thrilled to announce the successful closing of its Seed investment round, raising $1.7 million.

“We are excited to close the current Seed round to push Aliform to new heights. This funding will play a crucial role in getting our first product to market, expanding the team, and making a positive impact on the patients’ quality of life” – Alisa Suturin, COO and co-founder of Aliform.

As lead investor, Brightlands Venture Partners Fund IV B.V. invested $1.5 million. “Brightlands Venture Partners is excited to lead this Seed round. Aliform is developing a medical technology platform that could provide significant benefits for patients and surgeons. We look forward to supporting the Aliform team in bringing this technology into clinical stage” – Luc Starmans, Senior Investment Manager at Brightlands Venture Partners.

In addition to the lead investor Brightlands Venture Partners, Aliform is proud to have secured support from a group of business angel investors and top-ranked US-based healthcare accelerator Health Wildcatters. “It is a delight to see such a revolutionary technology getting funded,” said Hubert Zajicek, CEO and Founder of Health Wildcatters. “We are particularly proud that this founding team has been able to receive additional funding in the very competitive European VC world.”
