Bringing medtech innovation to market (Part 2)
G
0:56Glenn HunzingerHOST
And as you think about investing today, what are some of those opportunities and challenges you see, particularly when you think about, you know, clinical evidence, reimbursement, that commercial readiness? How do you guys think about that in your investment cycle? So maybe, Darshana, I'll start with you and then, you know, let's get that conversation going.
D
1:14Darshana ZaveriGUEST
I think that it's always been hard to raise money for early-stage med tech.
D
1:18Darshana ZaveriGUEST
And despite the data of how much was raised this year or last year, I think overall it is still hard.
D
1:26Darshana ZaveriGUEST
And as one of the very few early-stage [chuckles] investors out there, I can tell you it is hard.
D
1:30Darshana ZaveriGUEST
We s- you know, we see so many deals and so many good deals, and there's only so many we can do.
D
1:35Darshana ZaveriGUEST
But I think from the perspective of what we are looking for, making sure that there is an absolutely clear-cut value proposition for the actual end user is so important.
D
1:49Darshana ZaveriGUEST
And I think we live in a world where it is not enough to just improve outcomes.

The next wave of medtech innovation (Part 1)

16:54Darshana ZaveriGUEST
So yeah, first off, the move from hospital to ASCs and OBLs, and I wanna say even to completely ambulatory or home, is really exciting for us, and I think certain technologies will be really well positioned to help drive that.
D
17:14Darshana ZaveriGUEST
We're seeing now the move from hospital to ASC with AFib ablation, but potentially we just made an investment into a company that is now taking it to a wearable, right? So now you're going to the home.
D
17:32Darshana ZaveriGUEST
We are very opportunistic, so we kinda look at the world as what are the technologies that are gonna enable all of these new indications.

I'd be curious on Darshana's perspective actually, 'cause you've done a lot of that as well.
