CIBC Innovation Banking has closed a $20 million debt financing for San Francisco-based Aktana.
Using embedded AI and machine learning refined by real-time human insight, Aktana gives life sciences commercial teams the tools and information to anticipate customer needs. This allows for better engagement between commercial teams and healthcare providers (HCPs) and ultimately better patient care.
“Led by a team with deep experience in both technology and life sciences, Aktana is developing innovative and intelligent solutions for its customer base of large life sciences companies,” said Jeff Chapman, a managing director in CIBC Innovation Banking’s Menlo Park office. “Aktana is disrupting the industry and we’re pleased to support the next stage of the company’s growth.”_x000D_
