weMultiply, a New York-based angel investment and business acceleration group, has partnered with the Life Sciences Angel Network (LSAN) to support LSAN’s Third Annual MedTech Conference, and provide ongoing strategic and operational backing. Through its relationship with LSAN, weMultiply provides its engaged ventures with access to the region’s most diverse, active group of life science and Health IT angel investors and investment groups.
Launched in 2010 by Dr. Milena Adamian, LSAN funds, mentors, and provides operational support to funded companies within the life sciences and Health IT sectors. The Conference, “Build or Flip: Why and When? A Unique Look at the Medical Devices and Healthcare Services Sectors,” focused on key issues facing investors and entrepreneurs today – whether to build early-stage ventures for the ‘long haul’ or a quick sale; how to best attract and successfully engage with exit partners; and, trends and developments within the rapidly-changing markets for healthcare device and service technologies. Panelists included founders of successful Health IT and life sciences ventures, as well as industry heavyweights from organizations including Johnson & Johnson, McKinsey, Bain Capital, Bank of America, Becton Dickinson, Telcare and more.
“Partnering with LSAN offers an opportunity to be a part of the most dynamic industry conversations, as well as direct access to a wide network of active investors,” said weMultiply Managing Director Lena Feygin. “Milena’s team, as expected, has created an engaging program featuring some of the top names in the industry.”
“The markets for Health IT and life sciences technologies have seen remarkable growth in the past few years, and as these segments scale we are focused on driving the industry forward and sourcing the highest-quality opportunities,” said LSAN founder Dr. Milena Adamian. “Strategic partnerships with groups like weMultiply directly enhance our ability to target the ventures most likely to succeed in the current market climate.”
“By leveraging its network of active sales channels, weMultiply identifies and invests in ventures with a high probability of rapidly securing institutional clients,” said weMultiply Managing Director Jesse Williamson. “This approach both accelerates the implementation of innovative health technologies, and mitigates a key risk associated with early stage healthcare investments. LSAN has developed a uniquely efficient program to engage, identify and place targeted investments, and we are excited to support it.”
Backed by the 9.8 Group of Companies, weMultiply seeks out, validates, and invests in emerging health & wellness technology ventures which can benefit from its network of active institutional sales channels. The weMultiply S.A.L.E.® program provides early stage and startup companies with direct investment, access to capital through the company’s angel and venture capital networks, as well as the strategic tools, leadership, advice and health industry regulatory and compliance expertise required to ensure the proper roll-out and successful growth of each venture.

GRC typically encompasses activities such as corporate governance, enterprise risk management and corporate compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) January 16, 2014
WePay, the payments company behind platform businesses, announced today $ 15 million in Series C financing. The company will use the funds to accelerate its growth through further investments in its payments API product and international expansion. Revenue from WePay’s payments API has grown over 600% in the last year, and the company has over 300 platform partners. In addition, today the company is announcing its plans to discontinue its direct-to-consumer offering in order to focus exclusively on its payments API built specifically for platform businesses such as online marketplaces, crowdfunding sites and small business software.
This round of financing was led by financial services and payments pioneer Phil Purcell of Continental Investors, co-founder of the Discover Card and former CEO of Morgan Stanley. Continental Investors has investments in several notable financial services companies, including the leading mobile payment and loyalty company, LevelUp. Paul Purcell will represent Continental on the WePay board.
A number of top technology and payments experts also participated, including:
Max Levchin, founder & former CTO of PayPal
Maynard Webb (Chairman of Yahoo!, board member of Salesforce, former COO of eBay, and former CEO of LiveOps), through the Webb Investment Network (WIN), his early-stage venture capital firm
Angel investor Raymond Tonsing
All existing institutional investors, including Highland Capital Partners, August Capital and Ignition Partners, participated in this round. This round brings WePay’s total financing to $ 35 million.
“Platform businesses like online marketplaces, crowdfunding sites and small business software are the most exciting segment of ecommerce today,” said Paul Purcell of Continental. “WePay’s focus here, coupled with their ability to give these platforms a payment solution that offers both flexibility and protection from fraud and compliance risk, is a recipe for success.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Continental to the WePay family. The team’s depth of operating and investment experience with later stage companies, payments, financial services and the public markets will be invaluable to WePay as we grow,” said Bill Clerico, CEO of WePay.
Unlike general-purpose payment APIs and processors, WePay is uniquely focused on serving platform businesses such as online marketplaces, crowdfunding sites and small business software. WePay gives these platforms the flexibility they need to design new commerce experiences while still protecting them from the burdens of fraud and compliance. WePay’s proprietary VedaTM social risk engine underpins its API and is honed to understand the platform’s users.
