Medcurity raises $500,000 in funding from Seattle-based investment firm

A new round of funding from a Seattle-based early-stage investment firm is positioning Medcurity for continued growth in the Spokane market. The Spokane-based startup recently received a $500,000 investment from SeaChange that has allowed the company to hire sales executives, a chief information security officer and five interns, expand its privacy law security and privacy training, and relocate to a larger office at 222 W. Mission Ave., Suite 30. Medcurity, founded in 2018 by Gellatly and Amanda Hepper, offers a product that helps health care organizations remain in compliance with security laws and HIPAA, the federal law governing release of medical information. The product asks users questions to assess administrative, technical and physical risks within an organization. SeaChange, formerly known as Seattle Angel Fund, secured $5.8 million in January to make early-stage investments in Pacific Northwest startups.
