BDC Capital invest $2 million in CLEIO

Two million dollars. That’s the amount invested by BDC Capital to accelerate CLEIO’s growth. This significant support will allow us to achieve our ambitions at a faster rate, mainly to strengthen our presence in the United States.

CLEIO has been a client of BDC, the bank for Canadian entrepreneurs, for several years. Last fall, we were introduced to BDC Capital, the investment division of BDC, which offers a full range of capital for seed and growth-stage companies. It supports Canadian entrepreneurs who want to stand out on the world stage.

Our presence in the fast-growing technology sector, our solid business model, our growth plan, and our competent team made BDC Capital want to get involved with us.

A positive sign for CLEIO

For CLEIO, it is a positive sign, as our CEO Alexis Bilodeau explains:

“This investment from BDC Capital shows great support and a true sign of confidence in CLEIO! It proves that CLEIO is a healthy company with a strong growth potential. It’s a vote of confidence from a partner who has agreed to commit to what we want to achieve.”

(and yes, we have so many great things to achieve!)

Heading for the US market!

Since the company’s creation in 2005, NOVO has progressively established itself as a leader in the development of medical devices in Canada, thanks in part to its ISO 13485 certification.

Today, our goal is to accelerate the commercialization of our leading-edge services, and to strengthen our presence in the United States. “We will use a large part of this investment to develop this market, where we have been present for several years,” continues Alexis. NOVO already has a certain number of customers here, and our ambition is to grow in the coming years.

A special thanks to the team at BDC Capital who made this possible.
