Burns & Levinson Represents BTR in $15 Million Series A Preferred Financing Raise

BOSTON, March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Burns & Levinson represented client BTR (Boston Technology Research Corporation), a regulatory technology company serving healthcare, life sciences and SaMD, in a $15 million Series A Preferred financing round led by New York-based global venture capital and private equity firm Insight Partners, with participation from existing investors LRV Health, NewStack Ventures and others. The new funding will be used to ensure that BTR’s customers are prepared for the FDA’s anticipated guidance that will incentivize a move from traditional methods to new technologies.

“We started working with BTR almost three years ago as the company was strategizing its expansion strategy and looking to solidify its international operations. As outside general counsel to the company, it is exciting to be a part of this new phase as CEO Bryan Ennis and Founder and Chief Product Officer Kosal Keo, along with their impressive management team, take the company to the next level,” said Merken. “We look forward to supporting BTR’s ongoing success as they expand their team and service offerings and explore new growth opportunities.”
