InstaMed, a Center City-based healthcare payment company, raised $1.5 million, according to an SEC filing.

In an interview with the Philadelphia Business Journal, Michael Heller, the new CEO of high-profile law firm Cozen O’ Conner, said that state-backed fund Benjamin Franklin Technology Partners shouldn’t have it’s funding cut by the budget strapped state government, because of the jobs it brings to the region. “It should have it increased,” he said.

Comcast Ventures participated in a $35 million Series C round for Houzz, a home design platform based in Palo Alto, Ca., the Washington Business Journal reported.

Don’t forget: The last day to send in applications for DreamIt Health, DreamIt Ventures’ health accelerator, is Feb. 8.
