It’s opening an office in England this year in order to focus on the European market.

Founded in 2007, Greenphire provides technology that automates payments for companies that run clinical trials, from smaller trials to global-scale ones. It raised $4.3 million this fall, [as we reported](https://technical.ly/philly/2012/10/16/dreamit-ventures-raises-50m-fund-vc-roundup), following a $1.5 million series A round in fall 2011 led by New York City-based **First Mark Capital**.
