VCBeat (WeChat ID: vcbeat) learned from foreign media that on June 19, U.S. local time, healthcare company Vynca completed a $10.3 million Series B financing round. The funds will be used to support the development of the company’s online platform, providing high-quality medical care services for the elderly.


It is reported that this round of financing was jointly invested by First Trust Capital Partners and OCA Ventures. In addition, Vynca has expanded its board of directors, with Phil Fogg Jr., Partner at First Trust Capital Partners, and Arnie E. Burchianti joining the Vynca board.


Headquartered in California, USA, Vynca is a healthcare company that integrates computer technology with medical technology, dedicated to providing customers with high-quality medical services.


Vynca’s services are primarily targeted at the elderly population. Generally, older adults have a higher prevalence of disease. Under the traditional medical care model, family members send elderly patients to healthcare institutions, where medical staff devise treatment plans based on the patients’ conditions and assume responsibility for their nursing care. However, this traditional model is relatively simplistic, typically offering only basic services such as treatment and room and board, which no longer meets the needs of today’s customers.


Vynca provides high-quality hospice care services to the elderly by establishing an online healthcare platform. Patients can register accounts on the Vynca platform to submit their health reports and corresponding treatment requests at any time. Upon receiving this information, medical institutions will arrange professional nursing teams and medical resources to meet patient needs.


We traditionally regard the mission of healthcare institutions as treating diseases; however, with the development of the healthcare industry, simple treatment services can no longer meet patients’ diverse needs. Targeting industry trends, Vynca’s newly developed service platform translates market demand into reality, providing high-quality medical care services to a broad customer base.


“Healthcare deserves the industry’s attention. This financing will support us in continuing to grow our business and deliver better healthcare services to our customers,” said Ryan Van Wert, Co-Founder and CEO of Vynca.


Rachel Kern, Partner at First Trust Capital Partners, stated, “We are highly optimistic about Vynca’s growth prospects. The company shares our development philosophy, and we look forward to creating new value for shareholders on both sides through this partnership.”
