Promaxo, an Oakland, California-based medical imaging company, announced the initial close of its Series C financing round with participation from New Science Ventures and Amara Ventures, and confirmed the closing of a $100 million credit facility.

Promaxo's Series C and Credit Facility

The initial equity close includes backing from New Science Ventures, a venture capital firm with offices in Connecticut and London, and Amara Ventures, a UAE-based investor. The financing combines dilutive equity with non-dilutive debt, which the company said helps fund value-creating priorities while limiting shareholder dilution. The $100 million credit facility provides non-dilutive capital to strengthen Promaxo's balance sheet and operational capacity.

New resources are earmarked for expanding manufacturing, reducing existing order backlog, and advancing additional regulatory submissions. Promaxo is pursuing FDA clearance for its robotic platform and an AI-based cancer risk-scoring tool for prostate interventions. The announcement follows new dedicated prostate biopsy reimbursement codes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Promaxo's portable MRI system is the first in the United States to receive FDA 510(k) clearance for prostate biopsy and treatment across a broad range of healthcare settings.

Somu Subramaniam, Founder and Managing Partner of New Science Ventures, said the investment supports Promaxo's next phase of growth and commercialization. "Promaxo's differentiated approach to image-guided interventions has the potential to reshape the procedural care paradigm," Subramaniam said. Dr. Amit Vohra, Founder and CEO of Promaxo, called the financing a vote of confidence in the company's execution and in the markets it serves.
