Lynda Brown Ganzert of Vancouver asked for $360,000 for 5% of Curatio, a mobile health platform that matches patients with similar patients in private networks and provides curated education from trusted experts, licensed to hospitals and health organizations rather than paid for by patients directly. The company is two and a half years old, completed an oversubscribed seed round and a bridge round at a $5.5 million US valuation, has about $3 million in its sales funnel with about half a million dollars in pre-sales and awards, and has signed two customers with a third partnering that week; the money would go toward protecting the technology through patents.

Joe Mimran declined to make an offer despite praising the pitch. Manjit Minhas offered $360,000 structured as a loan at the same $5.5 million US valuation as the recent bridge round with a 20% discount to the next round if it priced lower. Michael Wekerle and Jim Treliving jointly offered $360,000 for 6% equity, and Michele Romanow said she could match Manjit Minhas's offer but withdrew after Lynda Brown Ganzert indicated she was going with Michael Wekerle and Jim Treliving. Lynda Brown Ganzert accepted the joint offer from Michael Wekerle and Jim Treliving.
