University of Leeds healthcare startup succeeds in ICAEW funding programme

Comma Care Limited has achieved a place on the Institute for Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)’s Investment Readiness Programme.

Comma Care Limited is a member of Nexus-based SPARK, and a University of Leeds healthcare startup.

Founders Rohan Rebello and Abdul Razzak were awarded a £1,000 grant for business development and will now be mentored by industry leaders and backed by investors.

Five entrepreneurs from Yorkshire universities pitched their business proposals at an event, which was held at Grant Thornton in Leeds on June 28.
