Advancing Patient Care
Through Technology

Healthcare Investment Strategy

Split Rock's healthcare team is focused on supporting medical device companies making material improvements in patient outcomes and the total cost of care. We will also invest in select life sciences opportunities where we can facilitate additional growth, spin-outs, or restructurings. We actively seek companies focused on treatments for relatively underserved disease segments.

Medical Device Investment Criteria

With experience founding, leading, and investing in device companies over the last 25 years, the Split Rock team has developed a strong reputation, extensive network, and deep experience in medical devices. Our approach is to partner with dedicated entrepreneurs to deliver disruptive innovations to physicians. With this in mind, we seek companies in line with the following criteria:

  • Proven entrepreneurs and co-investors
  • Disease states with large, underserved therapeutic and/or diagnostic needs
  • Significant market size (typically greater than $500 million)
  • Rapid development timeline (commercialization potential in less than 5 years)
  • Business models built on sustainable competitive advantage
  • Strong intellectual property position
