Elevate Ventures provided Curvo, a data platform used among hospitals and medical device companies, an initial investment of US $50,000. The funding would permit the start-up company to finance sales and operations, software development and make key hires.

The availability of Curvo provides hospital business professionals with the information and guidance to identify what opportunities are present to reduce expenses. On the other hand, medical device companies would optimize their market resources and sales because of Curvo's premium market data.

"We are so excited to deliver a big win for healthcare providers, medical device companies and patients and communities," Andy Perry, Chief Executive Officer of Curvo Labs LLC, said.

"Curvo uniquely matches hospitals, surgery centers, and medical device companies with mutually beneficial opportunities; it drives sales and marketing optimization while driving down the cost of care. It's a win-win for everyone," Perry added.

Elevate Ventures handles more than US $80 million in funds through its recently launched Diversity Fund, Indiana Angel Network Fund, 21st Century Research & Technology Fund, and Community Development Fund.
