Norwest Venture Partners, a growth equity investment firm, led a $35m Series C round in Scratch Financial, a fintech company, with participation from Alumni Ventures, Companion Fund, Struck Capital, SWS Venture Capital, and TTV Capital. "We are excited to partner with Scratch Financial as the company expands to provide flexible and easy financing to more patients and pet parents. Not only does the leadership team have deep experience with disruptive fintech companies, they also understand the challenges that patients face when financing medical services—from convoluted processes and delays to multiple credit card or loan applications. Scratch is well positioned to lead the market by simplifying the patient experience and streamlining veterinary and medical practice needs through a platform that combines payments, care financing and intuitive SaaS tools," Ryan McDonald, Norwest Venture Partners Principal.
