Innosphere continues to be a beacon for progress and innovation

We are saddened to inform our community about a recent act of vandalism at our building, seemingly connected to a protest group advocating for divestment from Israel. This group has not reached out to Innosphere Ventures to discuss their concerns or to understand our work. To clarify, while Innosphere Ventures is involved in a venture capital fund that invested in Israel-based science and technology startups, this fund is now fully invested and closed. We are proud to support entrepreneurs and innovators in Colorado, the region and Isreal. Innosphere Ventures remains focused on accelerating the growth of science and technology companies, with a commitment to innovation in climate resilience and life sciences that benefits communities globally. Our work, including the efforts of the CO-WY Climate Resilience Engine, is dedicated to addressing critical challenges, and has no connection to the activities the protest group is concerned about. We have been a proud part of this community for over 25 years, and recent events have deeply affected us. The vandalism caused significant costly damage, and we are working closely with law enforcement to address the situation. We are also enhancing our security measures to ensure the safety and integrity of our facilities. We believe in open dialogue and collaboration, and we hope to move forward in a spirit of understanding and mutual respect. Thank you for your continued support.

MobilityZ Health [Techstars '23] , an Innosphere Ventures client company, announces its official launch in July 2024, marking a pivotal moment in advancing remote orthopedic care. Addressing the critical challenge of limited access to timely and effective musculoskeletal (MSK) injury management, MobilityZ Health is poised to transform how orthopedic care is delivered—ultimately improving patient outcomes, increasing access, and driving down costs. Musculoskeletal injuries represent one of the most significant challenges in healthcare today, affecting millions worldwide and leading to chronic pain, long-term disability, and decreased productivity. Traditional care models often struggle with delayed diagnosis, inadequate follow-up, and limited access to specialized care, especially in remote or underserved areas. This gap in care not only exacerbates health disparities but also leads to higher healthcare costs and suboptimal patient outcomes.
