Investment portfolio

  • Luna Diabetes

    Participated · Series A · Aug 2025

    Luna Diabetes develops a method of insulin delivery for insulin pen users; its flagship product, Luna, pairs a small insulin patch pump with a closed-loop algorithm to automate insulin delivery during sleep and support users across the day. The product is designed to provide automation without requiring a switch to a full-time insulin pump. The company is based in San Diego, CA. Luna raised $23.6M in a Series A financing. It intends to use the funds to advance regulatory submissions, conduct clinical studies, build manufacturing capacity, and expand clinical and market access programs.

  • GlucoSet

    Led · Series A · Jul 2023

    GlucoSet develops continuous monitoring solutions for the intensive care unit, with an initial product focused on ICU glucose monitoring. The company targets parameters where continuous monitoring can reduce complications and clinical workload and where acceptable solutions are currently lacking. GlucoSet is a technology spin‑off from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and maintains an R&D office in Trondheim, Norway. In its first Series A closing the company secured €6m in equity alongside €3.4m in research and development grants, totaling more than €9m in dilutive and non‑dilutive funding. Management says the financing materially reduces risk and allows the company to move quickly toward market while it pursues a second closing. The largest shareholder remains Norwegian early‑stage fund NIK IV, managed by Televenture Management.

  • Piomic

    Led · Series A · Jul 2022

    Piomic Medical develops a proprietary COMS therapy that combines concurrent optical and magnetic stimulation for hard-to-heal wounds and is delivered via the COMS One device. The therapy is designed to integrate into inpatient, ambulant and homecare settings and enables patient self-administration to support self-management. Following publication of its first-in-human multicenter prospective comparative trial in Swiss wound care centers, Piomic reported significant clinical benefits in therapy-refractory wounds. The company completed an initial soft launch in selected advanced wound care markets, with over 5,000 treatments performed and 450 patients treated, receiving strong customer feedback. Piomic recently closed an oversubscribed CHF 7.5M Series A to strengthen the body of evidence for clinical efficacy and pursue US market clearance. Proceeds will fund a large randomized controlled MAVERICKS trial focused on diabetic foot ulcers and support integration of COMS therapy with telemedicine for homecare delivery. Piomic develops an innovative non-invasive medical device for the treatment of chronic wounds. The company reported encouraging initial results from a clinical pilot trial and aims to provide clinical and economic benefits to institutions treating non-healing wounds. Management cites diabetes and an aging population as drivers of a market with more than 50 million patients affected by hard-to-heal wounds. Proceeds from the financing will be used to accelerate development of its advanced wound care product, expand the team and operations, and strengthen the clinical body of evidence for its core technology. Piomic has attracted continued support from existing business angels and a pool of private investors. The company also added Bertrand Hughes as a key advisor, bringing experience in advanced wound care and MedTech markets.
