Enamax Diagnostics
Clutch Foundry has been instrumental in my journey as CEO of Enamax Diagnostics. From operational financing, access to world-class mentors, and key industry introductions—accelerating our supplier growth by 37% in just one year. Beyond that, they’ve been a trusted sounding board, helping us refine our vision and navigate the complexities of health-tech. With their backing, we’re now closing follow-on capital to scale.

Clutch believed in us from day one. It took less than two weeks to get the first check, and from there, the focus shifted to real business fundamentals—GTM, product, and, of course, a big hug followed by a ‘go figure s**t out yourself’ moment as a founder. And honestly? I love it
The Results: Since working with Clutch, we’ve prioritized revenue multiples, customer adoption, and achieving product-market fit. This approach has driven 256% revenue growth, and we’re on track to surpass $2M in revenue by the end of 2025, with 86% gross margins
