WorldOne Secures $25m Growth Funding

Healthcare data collection agency WorldOne has secured a $25m investment, which it plans to use to accelerate global expansion and fund development of new business lines.

Founded in 2000, WorldOne offers access to a panel of 500,000 physicians and 200,000 (other) healthcare professionals across more than 80 countries.

The firm recently opened offices in Bern, Switzerland; Hamburg, Germany; and in Mexico City. Earlier in the year, it expanded its UK operation to larger premises near Tower Bridge in London.

The new funding has been led by equity investor Kennet Partners, whose MD Michael Elias will join WorldOne's Board of Directors.

WorldOne CEO Peter Kirk (pictured) comments: 'Having an investor like Kennet make a $25m commitment is a strong vote of confidence in what we have achieved and where WorldOne is headed. We will benefit on multiple levels from Kennet's investment and involvement, and look forward to the future.'
