We have selected 14 innovative medtech teams to participate in the Fall 2024 Aspire Medtech investor engagement program! We are impressed and inspired by these teams and their inventions, and thrilled to support them as they prepare for the next step in their entrepreneurial journeys. These medtech companies are developing inventions that include an attachment that converts a traditional wheelchair into a motorized one in just 30 seconds🦽; a low-cost atomizer device that delivers intranasal drugs faster during emergency situations 🚨; and low-cost wound dressings using smart biomaterials, empowering patients to heal and monitor their own wound infections 🩹; among others. For many promising technologies, funding becomes the barrier to scale. These companies will work closely with dedicated investor-mentors to dig deep into how to productively engage with investors.
