MedBridge, a video-based medical education platform, has lined up $3 million in debt financing, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Medbridge CEO Justin Kowalchuk confirmed the financing, and said the funds will go towards Medbridge’s content library and patient engagement products.
MedBridge was the recipient of GeekWire’s 2016 Bootstrapper of the Year award, which recognizes self-funded startups making their mark on Seattle’s tech community. According to SEC records, this is the first outside money MedBridge has brought in.
The startup launched in 2011, providing video-based continuing education courses for physical therapists. It has since added courses in occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and athletic training, and has also added material for patient and family education in all four disciplines.
MedBridge currently has hundreds of hospital and private practice clients, and employs a growing staff of more than 50 in its headquarters in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood.
