Akkure Genomics launched a crowdfunding campaign on Spark Crowdfunding in late January. The plan was to run a 35-day campaign to reach a €500,000 target. Within one week, the company had passed €1m in crowdfunding. The campaign has now closed with €1.2m raised by more than 300 investors. The scaling digital health company will use this funding to accelerate the roll-out of its clinical trials platform. It is targeting a US launch in the next 12 to 18 months, which this funding will support.
