The story
Scilife is a Belgium-based vertical SaaS company providing an eQMS (electronic Quality Management System) for pharma, biotech, medical device, and healthcare logistics companies. Founded 2017 (LinkedIn shows original entity dating earlier), the company scaled to 240+ customers and secured a growth investment from Five Elms Capital in 2024. The product is compliance-focused (21 CFR Part 11, ISO 13485, EU MDR, GMP, GDP) — it is NOT a fintech and does not run embedded finance rails.
