We are grateful for the vision and value Cascadia saw in ADURO.”
“Cascadia did an excellent job positioning ADURO with a funding partner that aligns with our team and growth strategy.” added Chris Dickinson, Chief Business officer of ADURO. “Their industry relationships were key to cultivating multiple offers, and ultimately finding a partner to help us lift the broken health & wellness industry.”
“ADURO had reached an inflection point in their business where customers were getting larger and more complex,” noted Kevin Cable, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Cascadia Capital. “Abry brings the experience to help build the infrastructure to successfully service larger enterprises.”
