EPACT Network has closed a Series A financing, raising $4.5 million, PE Hub Canada has learned. The round, which brings total funding to $12 million-plus, was co-led by Disruption Ventures, a women-focused venture firm, and Yaletown Partners, an investor in emerging-growth tech companies. Vancouver’s ePACT was founded in 2012 by CEO Christine Sommers and President and COO Kirsten Koppang Telford to provide a cloud-hosted system that converts traditional paper-based forms of emergency, health and contact information to a free e-network. It is the first Canadian investment of Disruption, launched in 2018 by Managing Partner Elaine Kunda to invest in North American early-stage companies founded and managed by women.
