Congratulations to #IWPortfolio companies Aquatonomy and D.Sole for being selected for VentureBridge '24! Aquatonomy's solution transforms ROVs into autonomous underwater robots for data collection in any visibility, drastically reducing cost, increasing efficiency, and improving safety by carrying out tasks independently in dangerous situations or by providing visibility into the environment for dive planning. D.Sole offers a remote patient-monitoring foot insole that provides clinicians with data-driven insights into their patient’s feet so they can intervene at the right time with the right treatments. Their approach reduces foot complications by an estimated 93% and the costs to insurers by an estimated $8 billion annually.
