Healthcare Investment Strategy Split Rock's healthcare team is focused on leading investments in early-stage companies across the medical device space, concentrating in the West Coast and Upper Midwest regions. We focus on identifying early the most promising companies and new technologies. In addition to early-stage investing, we will also invest in select life sciences opportunities where we can facilitate additional growth, spin-outs, or restructurings. We actively seek to find and build companies focused on treatments for relatively underserved disease segments.
Further, our close relationship with the leading healthcare incubators, The Foundry and ForSight Labs, provides a significant advantage to our growing companies with an extended network for promising entrepreneurs.
Medical Device Investment Criteria With experience founding, leading, and investing in device companies over the last 25 years, the Split Rock team has developed a strong reputation, extensive network, and deep experience in medical devices. Our approach is to partner with dedicated entrepreneurs to deliver disruptive innovations to physicians. With this in mind, we seek medical device companies in line with the following criteria:
- Proven entrepreneurs and co-investors
- Large, underserved therapeutic areas
- Significant market size (typically greater than $500 million)
- Rapid development timeline (commercialization potential in less than 5 years)
- Therapeutic in nature
- Strong intellectual property position
