The Scale Angel network is an exceptional cohort of accomplished people who believe that investing in and supporting talented diverse teams will create the iconic businesses of tomorrow. Of the total venture capital funding available only 2% is deployed to women, yet female owned companies generate more revenues with less investment. Women are two times more likely to take social impact of a deal seriously however are not taken seriously despite having 50% of the good ideas. The evidence is clear, McKinsey and Company’s 2015 “Why Diversity Matters” research found the top quartile of gender diverse public companies are 15% more likely to outperform industry medians. It starts with us; the Scale Investor network has a powerful role to play to activate early stage female led organisations. We welcome all investors who share our vision of maximizing returns by supporting early stage businesses that value gender diverse leadership.

We believe connected care is better care. Our technology enhances collaboration, bridges disconnected data silos, and delivers fast, efficient patient care - and that's better for everyone.​ Oculo was founded in Australia 4 years ago by the Centre for Eye Research to promote better outcomes for patients managing chronic eye disease. Data silos can be the difference between going blind and getting needed healthcare. Oculo bridges data silos in health by allowing doctors to share valuable patient information like imaging, test results and referrals instantly and securely, regardless of location or EMR. The secure, cloud-based Oculo platform strengthens interoperability by facilitating seamless communication channels that enable eyecare providers to create a shared record including images to enhance triage and referral management, teleophthalmology and - where relevant - co-management.
