😍 We’re excited to share that Samsung Medison has officially acquired Sonio following Bercy's approval.In hindsight, the trajectory is impressive: one year after we co-led Sonio’s €4m Seed round with Elaia and Bpifrance, we invested again during the Series A in July 2023 with the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) and Cross-Border Impact Ventures.

In less than two years, Sonio brought their solution to market, achieving impressive milestones along the way and securing 510(k) clearance from the FDA.

🩺 By combining Sonio's AI expertise with Samsung Medison's state-of-the-art ultrasound systems, the two players intend to accelerate innovation in prenatal care for women around the world.

We are humbled to be part of this journey with OneRagtime and have been very impressed by the outstanding vision and execution led by Sonio's team under Cecile Brosset Dubois's guidance. Congrats to Cecile Brosset Dubois, Remi Besson, David Amouyal, Deepak Prakash, Dagmar Nuber and the entire Sonio team!

Thanks to our fantastic co-investors Elaia (Céline Passedouet, Benoît Georis, Sacha Loiseau), Bpifrance (Eva Clerc) Cross-Border Impact Ventures (Annie Theriault, Megan Dover, P.Eng., MBA), EIC (Maxime Pawlowski) and Pauline d'Arthuys, Justine Roux, Emma VERON-DURAND for OneRagtime. 🎉

This is OneRagtime's 7th exit and a solid one in terms of velocity and financial performance. At OneRagtime, we believe that financial success should go hand-in-hand with societal impact and Sonio’s story is a perfect example of this. And with many women rockstars. When women led VC and women led startups join forces that magic can happen !
