ClinTrial Research and Tarsadia Investments Partner to Build Next Generation Site Network

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Dec. 17, 2025 — ClinTrial Research (CTR) announced today that it has closed a growth equity round led by Tarsadia Investments, a multi-billion-dollar firm that makes high-conviction investments in category-defining companies globally. The investment reflects Tarsadia’s conviction that CTR is positioned to become the leader in the clinical site network sector.

“We fully believe in CTR’s mission to build the industry’s most trusted clinical site network—one that brings together exceptional people, advanced technology, and strong therapeutic leadership to elevate patient care and drive lasting innovation,” said Rishi Reddy, Managing Director and Head of Venture and Growth Equity at Tarsadia.

CTR CEO Sam Searcy emphasized that the partnership is far more than a capital infusion. “This investment from Tarsadia is a powerful vote of confidence from a respected industry leader with significant financial and strategic resources. It reinforces CTR’s position as a category-defining business,” Searcy said. “From our first meeting with the Tarsadia team last summer, the cultural alignment was immediate. It felt like speaking with close colleagues—effortless, natural, and an extension of our own team. Their intellectual depth and strategic insight are exceptional.”

The need for high-performing clinical site networks continues to grow. More than 90% of physicians who participate in a clinical trial never conduct a second one. When combined with staffing shortages, increasingly complex study protocols, and rising drug development costs, the importance of efficient, well-structured site networks becomes even more critical. “A site network that can solve across these four industry challenge areas will become a lasting and essential part of the pharmaceutical development ecosystem,” Searcy added. “We are confident we are building exactly that—approaching each challenge with precision, innovation, and the right long-term strategy.”

Reddy noted that CTR stood out clearly among companies evaluated. “CTR is led by a seasoned team who brings a modern, innovative approach to site networks and site management,” he said. “Critically, CTR and Tarsadia are aligned in their focus on bespoke AI-enabled technology platforms and the transformative impact they can have on the site network sector. Tarsadia invests with conviction in companies we believe are shaping the future and positioned for significant growth. After more than two years of analyzing the site network landscape, CTR was the team that checked every box for us: innovative, collaborative, AI-forward, and agile in a rapidly evolving market.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17, 2025 — Tokenfolio, an active growth stage and pre-IPO tech investor, has been ramping up their institutional arm to better serve increasing demand from institutional investors to access top AI investments.

Currently, reputed billionaire families in APAC, senior tech leaders, entrepreneurs with successful exits, and regulated funds invest with Tokenfolio. Beyond investments, Tokenfolio works closely with their portfolio companies to help them expand, especially across APAC given their active network and experience.

“Given increasing demand from our institutional LPs, it’s our key focus to ensure we can continue to follow industry leading processes as we scale. For this, we’re actively ramping up our efforts including partnering with market leaders to provide our LPs with best in class structures and services,” said Abhishek Malik, co-founder and CEO.

Carta is one of the largest fund administrators in the world with over $180B assets under administration and 2,000 employees across 14 offices worldwide, and is uniquely positioned to service Tokenfolio’s global client base. Carta will serve as an independent third party fund administrator for Tokenfolio vehicles. Carta is backed by some of the largest VC funds, private equity funds and investment managers in the world, including a16z, Silver Lake and ICONIQ Capital.

Carta’s Dinesh Manivannen, Account Executive from their Funds team, said, “We’re excited to partner with Tokenfolio. Their rapid growth is impressive, we have the right expertise and tools to support them and their LPs as they keep scaling further.”

Abhishek added, “Appointing Carta confirms our commitment to delivering the most trusted, safe and robust way for investors to access some of the world’s best AI and deep tech investment opportunities across growth stage and pre-IPO investing.”

Tokenfolio’s move to Carta is a step towards ensuring its investors receive the same rigor, transparency and auditability previously reserved for large public market investors.

FUTURE FUND OMAN COMMITS $1.2 BILLION AS $5.2 BILLION INVESTMENT PROGRAM ACCELERATES ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION

MUSCAT, Oman, Dec. 17, 2025 — Future Fund Oman announced record activity in 2025, approving 141 projects this year and lifting total commitments to $1.2 billion as the fund accelerates Oman’s economic diversification agenda.  Established by Oman Investment Authority with a capital commitment of $5.2 billion to be deployed over five years, the fund is now one of the region’s fastest-expanding national investment vehicles, with all capital directed toward projects inside Oman and aligned with the priorities of Oman Vision 2040.

Investment activity has drawn growing private-sector participation from the United States, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, China, and India. To date, Future Fund Oman has mobilized approximately $2.1 billion in additional private and foreign capital, including eight large-scale projects developed alongside global investors, banks, funds, and family offices. The fund said the rising leverage ratio reflects strengthening international confidence in Oman’s industrial, manufacturing, and clean energy ambitions.

Job creation remains a key performance indicator. Projects approved since launch have generated more than 1,400 jobs, with thousands more in progress. Investments span five national priority clusters , energy transition, advanced materials, healthcare, logistics, and information and communications technology, reinforcing the fund’s role in shaping the country’s next phase of economic growth.

Flagship developments include a $1.6 billion solar-grade polysilicon manufacturing facility by United Solar, scheduled for completion in 2026. The project has already supported over 1,000 jobs and delivered more than $317 million in in-country value, while also attracting interest from international development finance institutions. Another major project is JA Solar’s six-gigawatt solar cell manufacturing complex in the SOHAR Port and Freezone, a $442 million investment nearing key construction milestones. Once operational, the facility is expected to employ more than 500 people and expand Oman’s foothold in regional clean energy supply chains.

Momentum also continues under the fund’s SME and venture capital mandate. Since inception, 132 SME and VC projects have been approved, with $56.7 million committed and $37.4 million deployed through eight specialized vehicles covering pre-seed, seed, growth equity, and SME debt. Application volumes remain strong across both mandates, driven by sustained domestic and international interest in projects linked to industrial modernization, technology development, and clean energy.

Since launch, the fund has assessed 828 proposals and approved 141 projects valued at around $3.4 billion, spanning nine major strategic investments and 132 SME and venture capital initiatives. Its dual mandate guides capital toward both large national projects and smaller high-growth businesses, with a targeted 12 percent return and a 40 percent equity ceiling per investment.

Woodway Assurance receives $1 million in funding for data privacy assurance solution EviData

OTTAWA, ON, Dec. 17, 2025 – New Canadian technology company Woodway Assurance is proud to announce that it has closed an oversubscribed seed funding round for its flagship product, EviData™, raising $1 million. This shows strong investor conviction that independent, standards-aligned and automated data assurance is becoming a necessary layer for data-driven organizations, and confidence that Woodway’s management team, with its deep experience in researching, developing and commercializing privacy enhancing technologies, is well positioned to deliver it. The round was led by Aventure Capital, with participation from other angel investors.

“EviData addresses a growing pain point for organizations trying to clear roadblocks to responsible data use. I was very impressed with the vision for this transformative product, its significant potential and the plans for bringing it to market,” said Aventure Capital co-founder Frederic Boulanger. “We expect the solution to become an essential layer in the modern data stack.”

Organizations across health and life sciences, financial services and other sectors depend on data for research, analytics and AI projects, but they are under growing pressure to prove that their de-identification practices can stand up to scrutiny. When organizations, partners or clients don’t have the technical expertise to verify claims that datasets are properly de-identified, decisions can stall or default to a “no.” EviData is the first-of-its-kind software solution designed to turn that into a managed and defensible “yes” so data can be accessed, used and shared responsibly.

Running inside the client’s environment and requiring minimal expertise, EviData uses AI-driven automation to assess an uploaded de-identified or synthetic dataset for privacy and utility. Within minutes it generates a clear, auditable third-party report with documented and reliable evidence of whether a dataset can be treated as non-personal information, mapped to guidance from Canadian regulators and the ISO standards.

“It’s no longer enough for data teams to say they protect privacy. They now have to prove they’re meeting contemporary standards,” said Dr. Khaled El Emam, founder and CEO of Woodway Assurance, Canada Research Chair in Medical AI at the University of Ottawa. “This funding will help us reach more organizations that need a practical way to comply with privacy rules and show with independent evidence that their data can be trusted, so they can get faster approvals without losing data utility. EviData makes that assurance fast, repeatable and reliable so teams can keep innovating with their data and AI projects.”

Woodway Assurance launched in early fall 2025, EviData is already in market and being deployed with early customers to support research, analytics and product development across multiple data-intensive sectors, and the company is already generating revenue. The new funding will help accelerate the company’s growth by building out its capacity in sales, marketing and customer success, and by continuing to enhance the technological capabilities of EviData that are helping organizations scale de-identification assurance across projects.

Vitalis Ventures Announces $15 Million Strategic Funding for Drive Health to Accelerate Avery, the Clinical Workflow AI

Built on Google Cloud infrastructure, Drive Health is expanding Avery’s clinical workflow and operational capabilities, building toward broader health system and health plan deployment and a planned Series A in 2026.

MIAMI, Dec. 17, 2025 — Vitalis Ventures, an investment platform focused on AI enabled healthcare technology companies advancing next-generation care delivery, announces a strategic $15 million investment in Drive Health, the healthcare technology company behind Avery, a Google-powered agentic AI platform designed to transform how patients navigate care and alleviate the workload placed on clinicians. The total investment includes an additional tranche scheduled to close in Q1 2026. Vitalis Ventures partnered with Inside Capital Partners on the transaction.

This latest investment from Vitalis Ventures brings the total capital committed to Drive Health to $26+ million. The funding marks a significant step in Drive Health’s expansion as the company looks toward a Series A in 2026 and continues to advance its collaboration with Google to deliver scalable, clinically aligned AI support across health systems, managed care organizations and population health plans. Upon completion of the second tranche, Vitalis Ventures will join Drive Health’s Board of Directors, with a focus on strengthening and developing partnerships throughout the healthcare ecosystem.

“This partnership marks a major inflection point for Drive Health,” said Kevin Longoria, CEO of Drive Health. “Vitalis brings real operational depth, health-system experience, and the long-term vision needed to scale Avery responsibly. With their support, and through our continued work with Google, we are accelerating our ability to deliver safe, accessible, and compassionate AI support to healthcare facilities and patients nationwide.”

“Drive Health developed the lowest latency, most comprehensive and clinically aligned workflow automation platform in the market, with the potential to meaningfully reshape how care teams manage communication and follow-up,” said Elliot LaBreche, Founder and CEO of Vitalis. “We believe Avery’s approach to continuity-of-care represents the future of patient support, and we are proud to partner with the Drive Health team as they scale the platform nationwide.”

Avery is Drive Health’s flagship AI-enabled clinical workflow engine, built to support nurses and care teams in managing high-volume communication, education, and coordination tasks with patients and families. Avery automates well-defined units of work such as discharge orchestration, secure-message triage, and follow-up outreach, operating under hospital-defined rules and risk caps.

Integrated directly into clinical workflows, Avery can draft and deliver clinician-approved education, collect symptom and adherence information, and route issues for review based on safe escalation criteria across episodes like pregnancy, chronic disease management, and post-discharge recovery. By handling routine questions and administrative tasks under strict human oversight, Avery helps healthcare providers operate more efficiently while allowing doctors and nurses to focus their expertise on high-touch, in-person care.

Avery is designed to support, not replace, the judgment of licensed clinicians. It does not independently diagnose, treat, or prescribe, and every workflow runs with human-in-the-loop controls, audit logging, and safety governance.

Backed by Google and built on Google Cloud’s healthcare-grade infrastructure, Avery can communicate in more than 15 languages and operate with enterprise-level security, speed, and scale. Beginning in 2024, Drive Health and Google partnered to deepen Avery’s contextual reasoning, cybersecurity, enterprise scalability, and health-system integration, a collaboration that positions Avery as one of the most advanced AI solutions entering the market today. To ensure Avery evolves in step with clinical needs, safety and regulatory standards, the platform is developed in close collaboration with front-line nurses and clinicians through Drive Health’s Clinical Advisory Council. Drive Health also maintains a Clinical Safety Committee which brings interprofessional voices to AI governance and patient-safety.

With this latest capital commitment, Drive Health gains strategic funding and the opportunity to leverage Vitalis’ deep experience partnering with healthcare systems. This expertise in patient flow, operational bottlenecks, and workforce challenges will help Drive Health accelerate deployment and adoption across payers and providers.

Drive Health and Google are also supporting the State of Illinois’ Healthy Baby initiative, a multi-year program aimed at improving maternal and infant outcomes in underserved communities. The initiative will support more than 56,000 participating families with Google Pixel devices, Fitbit technology, and AT&T connectivity, while Avery delivers clinician-approved education, appointment reminders, and structured symptom check-ins from pregnancy through postpartum under the supervision of clinicians.

As Drive Health prepares for its upcoming Series A, the company plans to expand Avery into additional care pathways, explore innovative regulatory approaches, deepen health system integrations, and grow its team of clinical experts guiding the evolution of the platform, with the long-term goal of making continuous access to care available to every patient, everywhere.

About Drive Health

Drive Health turns AI workflows into audited clinical systems where every action is measured, governed, and proven. Avery, Drive Health’s clinical workflow engine, automates well-defined nursing and care-team tasks like discharge orchestration, secure-message triage, and rounding follow-up. Avery is designed to support, not replace, the judgment of licensed clinicians. It does not independently diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Each workflow operates under hospital-defined risk caps, human-in-the-loop controls, and continuous monitoring for safety and performance review. For more information, visit DriveHealth.ai.

  • Launched seamless cross-border delivery from the U.S. to Canada: UniUni is leveraging its vast, integrated U.S. and Canadian last-mile networks to offer merchants total network control of their U.S.-to-Canada logistics, allowing them to manage the full shipment journey from first-mile pickup, through customs, to final doorstep delivery.
  • Supercharged UniUni Small Business shipping for Canadian sellers: The company’s new network of staffed UniUni Stores and easily accessible drop-off UniUni Points in Toronto and across Canada give smaller e-commerce merchants a self-service experience where they can sign up and start shipping in minutes, with access to UniUni’s fast, flexible, and affordable delivery ecosystem powered by its full-stack logistics platform, and domestic and cross-border networks.

Dado que la interacción con el cliente actual no se basa únicamente en el marketing, los equipos de producto y marketing deben operar con datos compartidos para garantizar que las experiencias del cliente estén conectadas, no fragmentadas.

MoEngage Inform optimiza la mensajería transaccional crítica, como las contraseñas de un solo uso (OTP), las actualizaciones de cuentas y las actualizaciones de servicio, mediante una única API en todos los canales de mensajería y proveedores de entrega, lo que garantiza una fiabilidad que la distingue de las campañas de marketing. Por otro lado, las capacidades mejoradas de análisis de producto de MoEngage Analytics acortan la distancia entre el conocimiento y la acción. Al unificar los datos de comportamiento con la interacción inmediata, MoEngage permite a los gerentes de producto descubrir el porqué del comportamiento del usuario y generar experiencias instantáneas que impulsan la retención y el valor de vida del cliente (LTV).

“La interacción con el cliente nunca ha sido responsabilidad de un solo equipo. Los clientes pasan por muchos momentos, y esos momentos deben sentirse conectados y apoyados”, añadió Dodda. “Cuando producto, ingeniería y marketing trabajan con los mismos datos y herramientas, pueden presentarse de forma más natural a sus audiencias. Esa es la experiencia que queremos ayudar a las empresas a ofrecer para que puedan hacer crecer sus marcas”.

Rishabh Iyer, vicepresidente de ChrysCapital, declaró: “ChrysCapital se complace en asociarse con MoEngage para su próxima fase de crecimiento impulsado por la IA. Esta inversión se alinea con nuestra estrategia de respaldar plataformas tecnológicas desarrolladas en India para empresas globales, aprovechando el talento, la eficiencia del capital y un profundo conocimiento de las necesidades empresariales. Nos impresiona el modelo operativo disciplinado de MoEngage, su ejecución sostenida en EE. UU. y sus amplias capacidades de producto. Esperamos ayudar al equipo a convertirse en la plataforma tecnológica de marketing líder a nivel mundial”.

Ridhi Chaudhary, responsable de información de Dragon Funds, comentó: “Nos complace asociarnos con MoEngage, impresionados por su sólida gestión, la continua innovación de productos y el crecimiento sostenido. Creemos que el producto líder en su clase y las capacidades de IA de MoEngage la posicionan para liderar la categoría de martech.” Aakash Tulsani, director general de Dragon Funds, añadió: “MoEngage marca la pauta en innovación al aprovechar la IA en datos propios, lo que la hace esencial para los profesionales del marketing. Es un privilegio asociarnos de nuevo con MoEngage, tras haber invertido anteriormente”.

“En Zeta, estamos desarrollando la plataforma bancaria moderna para las principales instituciones financieras del mundo. Como empresa centrada en datos, nos basamos en un profundo conocimiento de los clientes para impulsar nuestra estrategia de producto”, afirmó Bhavin Turakhia, cofundador y consejero delegado de Zeta. “MoEngage Analytics nos ha ayudado a optimizar procesos críticos como la incorporación, la activación y la venta cruzada, mientras que sus funciones de mensajería nos permiten impulsar a los clientes al instante. Uniendo eficazmente la información con la acción. Como usuario del producto, estoy impresionado por la innovación constante. Además, MoEngage Inform se ha vuelto esencial para impulsar nuestras comunicaciones esenciales, ofreciendo actualizaciones de cuentas y transacciones con alta fiabilidad y rapidez”.

“MoEngage Inform se ha convertido en un componente fundamental de nuestra experiencia de comercio electrónico en Loblaw, en todas nuestras líneas de negocio”, afirmó Charu Pujari, vicepresidente sénior de IA e Ingeniería de Loblaw Digital. “Mantiene a los clientes informados sobre sus pedidos de entrega y recogida con la rapidez y fiabilidad que esperan, lo que ha marcado una diferencia significativa en su nivel de compromiso y confianza durante todo el proceso”.

Avendus Capital actuó como asesor financiero exclusivo de la empresa y sus accionistas.
