EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA – Kimmo Lucas, President and CEO of Cevena Bioproducts, Inc., has announced that the company has secured funding in the amount of $6.0 million ($4.8 million USD), one of the largest health and nutrition financings in Canada this year.
According to Lucas, the funds will ensure Cevena's successful commercialization of Viscofiber®, the highest quality B-glucan concentrate available to the food and dietary supplement markets. This novel, clinically proven ingredient offers unsurpassed heart-health and satiety benefits to the supplement and food markets. Viscofiber® is Cevena’s lead product that was recently launched in the United States. “Cevena’s core mission is to improve human health through effective, scientifically proven products,” Lucas says. “Our customers expect superior quality research, strong patent protection and marketing support with outstanding quality, ‘a given.’ This investment enables us to continue to exceed expectations and to provide consumers with a safe, effective and convenient means of keeping themselves heart-healthy.”
The Business Development Bank of Canada’s Venture Capital Group led the round and was joined by Golden Opportunities Fund (Saskatoon, Sask). The syndicate also included existing investors Foragen Technologies Limited Partnership (Saskatoon, Sask) and AVAC, Ltd. (Calgary, AB). Lucas notes that these investors “were chosen based upon their expertise in the agri-food/supplement area as well as the synergies they bring to Cevena Bioproducts and our flagship technology employed to produce our lead product, Viscofiber®.”
“We are excited to be working with a company with management of this caliber, and to have the opportunity to invest in the rapidly growing field of science-based natural ingredients for the health and nutrition markets,” says Gary Bantle, Director, Life Sciences at BDC Venture Capital. “Cevena is clearly representative of the dynamic and leading edge companies in which BDC invests and we are pleased to have led this round of financing.”
“The leading edge technology in Cevena immediately grabbed our attention,” comments Grant Kook, CEO/Chairman of Golden Opportunities Fund Inc. We are now excited for management to move forward on its strategy with this round of financing.”
