2020 Report on Angel Investing In Canada

iGan Partners

Our purpose is to be a catalyst for change in healthcare by helping dy- namic entrepreneurs with proven healthcare technologies to succeed and grow. We invest in healthcare because it’s where we think we can have the greatest impact on the world. We believe that despite remarkable progress (e.g., vaccines, imaging, diagnostics, EMRs, min- imally invasive surgery etc), we continue to face major challenges in healthcare on a global basis. We believe that Technology, Data, Analytics & Connectivity are cen- tral to improving the accuracy, efficiency, quality and affordability of care – these are the ‘pick & shovels’ of health systems transformation.​
