Congratulations are in order for our portfolio company Vertos Medical on its acquisition by global medical technologies leader Stryker! We know unique first-to-market medtech companies create value for patients, providers, and payors. Their novel procedure for lumbar spinal stenosis — which causes debilitating back pain for millions — is minimally invasive with high lasting relief rates, fewer complications, and a lower cost. What comes next: Vertos will be able to scale even faster and create new interventional pain offerings. And Stryker adds a one-of-a-kind therapy product with proven efficacy to its impressive portfolio. Win-win!

Innovation is not the only important element for supplement brands. Norwest Partner Lisa Wu, who led our 2016 seed round investment in Ritual, talked to The Business of Fashion about the evolution of the supplement industry and why efficacy and scientific credibility reign supreme. “First the focus was on building credibility around clinically-backed ingredients, but that’s no longer sufficient because consumers are demanding. Now the focus is on clinical studies on final [formulation] products.” Read more from Emma Sandler: https://lnkd.in/gmdTGwyp

Stacey Freed recently wrote for the The New York Times about the rise of office spaces that double as community hubs, and guess what? Springline Menlo Park, where our headquarters is, made the list. Our office space, which offers ample opportunities to spend time collaborating and building trust, supporting our company culture. That kind of community building helps set us apart and is hard to recreate anywhere else. It also helps make the commute worth it — just ask our Head of Business Development, Mary Miller, who told the New York Times that it’s worth the 1-hour traffic battle.

Since joining Norwest portfolio company Vuori last year, CMO KAREN RILEY-GRANT has worked to define Vuori’s core brand message and build the company’s first data and analytics team. She is also instilling a career-long passion for grass roots connections with a brand’s customers. For her, to obsess the customer, is to truly know and listen to what they have to say. Our portfolio leaders are some of the best minds in their industries, which is why we love this Forbes article sharing Karen’s top tip for marketers to continually tap into the minds of their customer. https://lnkd.in/gt-cCJvC

Our investment team had a front-row seat to the latest in cybersecurity at BlackHat this year, including some exciting news and activity from our portfolio companies ⬇️ One standout moment was Veza’s announcement of Access AI, a new AI-powered tool designed to help companies manage data access more effectively, which couldn't have come at a better time given the growing focus on pinpointing security risks before they lead to breaches. After coming out of stealth, Heeler unveiled its ProductDNA technology, which integrates security into the software development process–a critical step as cloud vulnerabilities are under the microscope with the cloud’s rapid growth. Uptycs, recently recognized as a Representative Vendor for CNAPP by Gartner, hosted a cybersecurity networking event focused on empowering your teams and professional growth. Meanwhile, Exabeam demonstrated their SOC platform, which applies AI and automation to security operations workflows, in action — pinpointing high-risk threats with incredible accuracy — a much-needed tool in today’s lightning-fast cloud environment.

Teri wrote all about how startups can design effective retention equity plans in her blog: https://lnkd.in/gdYJJfM9
