$10 million in VC funds for Ontela. Startup facilitates photo transfers

May 28, 2008View for printing

Ontela http://ontela.com/ founder Dan Shapiro had a memorable Monday last week that included two life-altering events.

"It was one of the most amazing Mondays I've ever had in my life," said Shapiro, who was receiving wire transfers from his investors while looking at ultrasounds with his wife at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle.
