Debbie Rennick, General Partner, Act Venture Capital: ''Having led their first raise in 2021, we are thrilled to announce our continued support for Spectrum.Life in this funding round. The exceptional team led by Stuart McGoldrick and Stephen Costello have demonstrated unparalleled dedication in advancing accessibility to digitally enabled health solutions in a very fragmented market. We are confident that this investment will propel Spectrum.Life to even greater heights in the international healthcare market. Aside from their strong financial growth, Spectrum.Life’s platform holds immense potential to positively impact mental and general health globally, and we’re excited to be supporting them in their next phase.
