The proceeds of the financing will be used to further expand Dormir’s presence in additional locations around the U.S. The company has already established 63 sites, including 32 sleep diagnostic centers operating under the expertise of Dormir’s MD Sleep subsidiary, as well as 31 distribution sites within Dormir’s CardioSom subsidiary, providing therapeutic respiratory devices and equipment to patients with sleep apnea.
“We are very pleased to be partnering with CHL, Noro-Moseley, and Excel in this financing round, which will provide Dormir with the resources to expand our commercial operations more broadly across the country, via additional sleep centers and distribution sites, joint ventures and acquisitions,” said Timothy Miller, Dormir’s Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that our fully integrated approach for addressing sleep disorders provides a better continuum of care to patients, potentially resulting in a higher compliance rate and better patient outcomes.”
“The accomplishments of the Dormir team have been impressive to date, particularly bringing the company to profitability in a relatively short time. We look forward to supporting the company’s continued growth as a national provider of high-quality, cost-effective care to patients suffering from sleep and respiratory disorders,” commented Myles Greenberg, Partner at CHL.
“Sleep disorders are increasingly recognized as a serious health condition that can lead to diabetes, heart conditions, obesity, and various other pathologies,” said Juan Enriquez, Managing Director, Excel Venture Management. “Dormir provides a solution that improves patient outcomes and reduces overall costs to the health system.”
In connection with the financing, Jeffrey Collinson of CHL, Michael Elliott of NMP, and Juan Enriquez of Excel have joined Dormir’s Board of Directors. Caleb Winder of Excel will be a Board Observer.
