I’d like to thank everyone sincerely for giving Clinishift this opportunity and I hope we really make a difference with our technology for health providers and hospitals.”
Clinishift and aiPatient were joined in the final round of 6 pitches by startups Bookaxe, Importwise, Travaplan, and StoryTracks.
Alastair Cameron, co-founder of Startacus and host of upSTART said:
"Every year I am amazed at the talent and innovation that Startacus helps to bring to Digital DNA, Belfast - be they local NI and Irish startups, or startups from the UK or further afield. This year is no different. Aimee and the CliniShift team are a shining example to other startups, of what can be achieved in a short space of time. Not only was Aimee's pitch completely on point, she clearly demonstrated the size of the market and why Clinishift is primed to grow and scale."
