We Venture Capital is pleased to announce its investment into Proton Intelligence in a heavily oversubscribed $6.95m Seed round alongside Tenmile, SOSV, LongeVC, 15th Rock, Exor Ventures, Trampoline Venture Partners and others. The company is developing the world´s first non invasive CKM™ for monitoring potassium levels of kidney patients. 1/3 of patients with chronic kidney disease or heart failure unnecessarily stop life-saving therapy after a high potassium event, which ultimately leads to a c.40% increase in 6-month mortality. Proton’s CKM™ technology aims to provide providers and patients accurate, remote, continuous potassium levels allowing precise treatment of these patients. “We Venture Capital have been impressed by this true breakthrough in electrolyte sensing capability, which will fulfil a critical gap in the current care continuum for many patients at risk from dyskalemia. We look forward to working with the Proton Intelligence team on the next phase of their journey” said Dr. Louise Warme, Head of We Venture Capital. Congratulations to Sahan Ranamukhaarachchi, Víctor J. Cadarso and the Proton Intelligence team!

Today, December 10, we celebrate World Human Rights Day to mark the anniversary of one of the world's most groundbreaking global pledges: the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration proclaimed that everyone is entitled to non-negotiable rights regardless of race, color, religion, gender, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. This year’s theme - Our rights, our future, right now – highlights how human rights are a pathway to solutions, playing a critical role as a preventative, protective, and transformative force for good. By embracing and trusting the full power of human rights as the path to the world we want, we can become more peaceful, equal, and sustainable.

The unveiling of this new building is another significant milestone in our commitment to sustainable growth at Werfen. The facilities, which will be LEED-certified, include some of the latest advances in sustainable building practices. This investment means we have additional capacity to create jobs and drive future innovation in patient care. Congratulations to Giovanni Russi, Mark Olsen, Brian Reiss and all the teams involved in bringing this exciting project to life.

Today, we announce an upcoming change in our leadership: After 37 years at Werfen, Carlos Pascual will be stepping down as our CEO, effective April 30, 2025. In his stead, Alejandro Risso will succeed Carlos, effective May 1, 2025. Carlos has served with great distinction, driving significant innovations and accomplishments across a range of senior roles. He spent the past 12 years as CEO, where he has made a truly incredible impact on us all. We could not have asked for a more passionate and dedicated leader! Looking to the future, we are excited to be welcoming Alejandro to the #Werfen team soon, and look forward to continuing to power patient care with him as our new leader. #PoweringPatientCare #ChangeOfLeadership #WelcomeToWerfen
