As part of Blu Ventures Trailblazers series, we sat down with Nick Delmonico, #CEO and #Founder of Strados Labs, a #RESP #Biosensor device company disrupting the respiratory health industry. Read more about Nick's journey from asthma-sufferer to founder of a #healthtech company that addresses respiratory health from the comfort of a patient's home, his experience with accelerators, lessons learned, and what is on the horizon for the company. https://lnkd.in/eWA6JHuj

Back in 2011 I started on a journey, one that saw me investing considerable time in the practice of out-of-body-exploration (OBE), or astral projection as it is also referred. This was an interest that stemmed from an extremely inquisitive childhood, where I was avidly interested in all things paranormal, and as an adult I decided to make that investment in search of questions about life, purpose, the universe and more. During my OBE practice I used a wake-back-to-bed technique, coupled with meditation and a little bit of technology. The technology was something called Hemi-Sync, more often referred to as Binaural Beats today. Little did I know that this technology was my introduction to brainwave entrainment, and I could/should call it destiny when I reflect on my journey during the last 15 years…! As part of my practice, I also immersed myself in literature about OBEs and started to create a bookshelf of material that remains with me today. Of note, is the material that came from Robert Monroe, which for those who may be unaware was a pioneer in the space, unfortunately no longer with us today. His work for me was pivotal, not only because he brought OBEs into the “mainstream” but because he understood the importance of his work to humanity in expanding consciousness beyond the everyday, and in the 1970’s saw him setup The Monroe Institute, today it’s just Monroe Institute. Since founding some 50+ years ago, they have extensively studied human consciousness, developing technologies which they refer to as Monroe Sound Science, and have served the world with educational programmes to enable individuals, healthcare professionals, educators, and researchers alike, to attain skills in their personal and professional practices. And so, to today and the news… Since the back end of 2023 we (roXiva) have been working extensively with an organisation that to be perfectly honest has maintained a huge smile on my face, and the teams, and so I think it’s about time we show our smile. I am thrilled to announce that the incredible team at roXiva has formed a partnership with Monroe Institute, where we will unite Monroe Sound Science with roXiva, in the development of holistic tools for the expansion of human potential. This is an extremely exciting milestone for roXiva, and I would personally like to applaud the amazing team that is roXiva for the incredible work that they do. #roxiva #roxivainnovations #monroeinstitute #themonroeinstitute #consciousexpansion

Founders — pay attention to what Aaron Hannon of Luminate Medical does to makes his pitch so compelling: Instead of trashing the current market-leading solution (cold cap therapy) which is a common way to show differentiation, he praises the current standard for what it has been able to do. Then, he introduces what Luminate Medical is looking to improve on (consistency) and how they’re going to differentiate to overcome the current obstacles providers are facing (scaling the solution they use). By sharing a reasonable, grounded perspective and establishing trust BEFORE sharing his solution, it ensures that people will actually listen to his full pitch. Still haven’t registered for LSI USA ‘24 (March 18-22) yet? Here’s what Xiao H. and Co-founder of Clarix Imaging had to say about his experience at LSI USA ‘23 (where he first met with Kineo Financing prior to the $10M round that they led): “LSI is an exceptional and extremely well-organized event that unites all the stakeholders in Medtech under one roof. We were in active discussions with various groups who attended last year’s event and the opportunity to engage in face-to-face conversations significantly expedited these discussions. As a result, we successfully closed a transaction that positions our startup for the next stage of growth.” To learn more and secure your spot for LSI USA ‘24 while we are still accepting registrations, get in touch with me or visit our website: https://lnkd.in/emTYBEqA

We are proud to announce the successful closure of Kaminari Medical’s €3.8M funding round.   The round includes €2.3M in investments from Graduate Entrepreneur Fund, NLC Health Ventures, Libertatis Ergo Holding B.V. (Leiden University), and Demcon investment. Additionally, it was supported by a €1.5M Innovation Credit from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO)).   Kaminari Medical uses intravascular imaging technology that leverages the power of photoacoustics and ultrasound to provide real-time qualification of plaque composition in CAD, particularly lipid-rich plaques that pose the greatest risk of rupture. This solution aims to deliver highly accurate assessments of coronary arteries to enable physicians to better assess the risk of major cardiovascular events, guide optimal treatment strategy, and save lives.   With this strategic investment, Kaminari Medical will accelerate the development of their technology platform, allowing them to initiate clinical trials and prepare for market introduction.   F.INSTITUTE acted as financial advisor for the transaction.   #MedTech #Innovation #VentureCapital

I’ve watched hundreds of pitches from Medtech and Healthtech founders. Here’s a great way to open your pitch to create immediate interest (thanks Dave Danielsen of CairnSurgical, Inc.): Introduce a painful problem that needs solving! Within seconds, David has shared the problem and how he discovered it. ✅ From patient to provider, nobody is looking for technology — they’re looking for relief from pain: - Painful costs (providers) - Painful recovery (patients) - Painful workflows (physicians) When pitching, you need to reveal that pain so that investors and providers see the value in your solution. Now that you’ve set the stage for your solution, make sure to circle back when discussing the technology and features so that they understand how you drive a more RELIABLE, EFFICIENT solution. Save this post so you can come back to it as you build your pitch for events like LSI Europe ‘24. What are some other great ways to start your pitch?
