MedaSync Investment has Youngstown Ties

MedaSync, a leader in AI software solution for skilled nursing operators, recently brought in $250K of new investment with Youngstown connections.

Aztec Capital Management added the AI software solution to their exclusive portfolio, already comprised of Anchor by DatAnchor and Comeback Capital. Aztec includes members of the Bushey family who are based in Youngstown and very active in the community.

Two angel investors, Phillip DePaul and Jeff Bleacher, who both grew up in the Youngstown region also invested in the AI software solution. 
​
“We’re using technology to keep nurses away from administrative manual workflows and in front of patients,” says Ryan Edgerly, CEO of MedaSync. "It's amazing to have more NE Ohio investors involved and is a testament to MedaSync’s ability to help skilled nursing operators strengthen their businesses and improve the patient care experience.” 

Funds from the investment will further MedaSync’s growth plans while giving operators enhanced access to MedaSync’s technology. To stay up to date follow MedaSync on LinkedIn.
