ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JOOL Health, the leading provider of scalable, digital Precision Well-Being™, announced a Series Seed Preferred investment of $4.5 million led by Grand Rapids, Michigan based CVC JOOL Investors, LLC. CVC has invested $1.6 million with additional funds from Tappan Hill Ventures, Michigan Angel Fund, Wakestream Ventures, and angel investors. This financing will accelerate product development, marketing, and sales efforts. Robert C. Boylen, Managing Principal of CVC, will join JOOL Health's Board of Directors.

"I like big ideas that can change an industry, but I invest in people," said Boylen. "My excitement and commitment level came from the fact that in JOOL, I have both – a game-changing product that comes along with a proven visionary and respected thought leader surrounded by a seasoned leadership team to see potential become reality. JOOL is uniquely positioned to positively impact people, their organizations, and their community."
