January 29, Chicago, IL — MATTER, the premier healthcare incubator and innovation hub, today released a report highlighting the MATTER community’s successes in 2018.
Collectively, MATTER startup members raised $260 million in funding and earned more than $102 million in revenue in 2018. To date, MATTER members’ products have been used by more than 400,000 clinicians and have benefited more than 92 million patients.
