Diameter Health CEO Eric Rosow said his company had record growth in 2021 and aims to continue changing the healthcare data market into the new year.
The Farmington-based medical technology company provides data analytics services that help healthcare customers consolidate and better assess clinical data.
While New Haven is known as the state’s bioscience epicenter, Greater Hartford has its share of successful healthcare-related companies. Two leaders in this arena are accomplished geneticist Charles Lee, of the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, and Eric Rosow, CEO of Diameter Health, both of which are based in Farmington.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic that hit Connecticut back in March 2020, Jackson Lab’s Farmington operations, led by Lee, have been key to the state’s response effort.
Jackson Lab, or “Jax” for short, was an integral part of Connecticut’s early in-state diagnostic testing efforts, and Lee also served on Gov. Ned Lamont’s reopening advisory committee that helped lay out the staggered easing of restrictions that took place last spring and summer.

CEO Ron Bergamesca said Payveris, which provides digital-payment products to banks and credit unions, will use that money to hire up to 25 new workers and boost marketing efforts. Entrepreneurs in Connecticut have long lamented the difficulties in getting attention from VC firms, but Bergamesca said Payveris location hasn t stymied its ability to raise money. The [VC] interest level was more in 2020 than it was prior, Bergamesca said. I think Connecticut is primed well [for future investment].
Bergamesca’s bullish outlook isn’t just steeped in blind optimism.
In fact, Connecticut companies in 2020 had a banner year in securing venture investment, despite challenges posed by the pandemic.
