Amplion, the Bend-based biotech startup, continues to swoop up money. The company took home the $150,000 launch stage investment today at the Roseburg Angel Investor Network (RAIN) conference.
Amplion CTO Adam Carroll was competing against some familiar faces including Tore Steen, CEO of Crowdstreet and Kirk Thornby, CEO of Poached Jobs. All three Oregon startups were at the Bend Venture Conference last month.
Amplion is the creator of BioMarkerBase, a knowledge base that helps drug companies identify the most important biomarkers to include in clinical trials, and helps diagnostics companies identify the biomarkers that will power next generation diagnostic tests.
The RAIN conference wasn’t Carroll’s first rodeo. He also emerged victorious from BVC as well, winning the launch stage competition and garnering Amplion nearly $400,000 in investment. Poached and Crowdstreet walked away with $100,000 and $150,000 in total BVC investments respectively.
This was the second RAIN conference. Homeschool Apparel, also a BVC finalist, was last year’s winner.
Congrats Amplion and Chris Kraybill. Great to see your strong momentum.
Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
