The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rise in demand for personal health monitoring via digital technology, which straddles the line between consumer and medical devices. Being a SaaS platform aimed at making investor access a cost and time effective process we immediately got to work.”  – Ash Narain, CMO, Marquee Equity
