Oxford Endovascular
Series A in 2021
Oxford Endovascular is focused on developing an innovative biotechnology device aimed at treating brain aneurysms. The company's technology employs a laser-cut metal alloy that utilizes shape-memory properties, enabling it to be inserted into a patient's brain via a catheter. Once in place, the device expands into a small mesh tube, commonly referred to as a flow diverter, which conforms to the natural shape of the blood vessel. This design effectively diverts blood flow away from the aneurysm, promoting healing and reducing the risk of rupture. By utilizing advanced engineering techniques, Oxford Endovascular aims to enhance patient outcomes and improve survival rates for individuals affected by this serious condition.
Gedea Biotech
Series A in 2020
Gedea Biotech AB, founded in 2015 and based in Lund, Sweden, specializes in the development of antibiotic-free treatments for vaginal fungal infections. The company focuses on creating a natural product, GA101, designed to treat and prevent these infections, which affect a significant percentage of women throughout their lives. GA101 functions by lowering the vaginal pH, providing a physical barrier, and inhibiting the formation of biofilms. This innovative approach aims to offer women a safe and effective alternative to traditional antibiotic treatments, promoting better vaginal health without the associated risks of antibiotic use.
