• OrthoSens — OrthoSens develops battery-free sensors that turn standard orthopedic implants into smart, data-driven devices.

An external wearable powers the sensor wirelessly and collects real-time data on load, micromotion and bone fusion. The result is a footprint 250x smaller than battery-powered competitors, opening up additional spine, foot & ankle markets that existing solutions cannot address. The clinical need is clear: approximately 20% of post-surgical patients drive around 68% of total post-operative costs through missed complications, continuous implant monitoring exists to catch them earlier. Starting January 2026, 745 US hospitals enrolled in CMS's mandatory TEAM bundle are now accountable for 30-day episode costs, creating direct institutional demand for this data.OrthoSens generates revenue through three streams: sensor sales to orthopedic implant manufacturers (unlocking +$1,309 NTAP reimbursement per unit), a SaaS subscription capturing 40% of Medicare's $104/month RPM reimbursement per patient and post-market data analytics. The company has validated its technology across 3 functional prototypes, filed 2 core patents with favorable Freedom to Operate and secured $1.3M+ in non-dilutive funding.

• Cellvie — Cellvie develops cell-derived medicines, leveraging the therapeutic potential of mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell.Mitochondria are at the heart of complex life's origin. Likely a bacterium at the time, the would-be-organelle merged with a simple organism, entering into a symbiotic relationship: The mitochondria began supplying theenergy for elaborate cellular functions to evolve, while the organism provided the mitochondria with an environment to thrive. Today, mitochondria are found in all human cells, except for red blood cells. They take on a pivotal role in cellular fate, as they produce most of the energy (ATP) and are involved in a large number of cellular and metabolic processes. The density of the organelles is particularly high in cells requiring a lot of cellular energy - e.g. cardiomyocytes or brain cells.Mitochondria function, and hence energy supply to the cell, may be impaired due to acute insults (e.g. ischemia) or genetic disorders (e.g. LOHN).Researchers at Harvard University developed an approach for mitochondria augmentation and replacement to ameliorate the damages from ischemia-reperfusion injury. Ischemia is a lack of blood flow leading to an undersupply of oxygen and an impairment of mitochondria function. Reperfusion describes the re-introduction of blood flow, inducing an oversupply of oxygen. Both, ischemia and reperfusion, damage cells, with the mitochondria dysfunction being at the heart of the injury. The cascade of events, from ischemia to reperfusion, will eventually lead to cell death. The most prominent acute conditions associated with ischemia-reperfusion injury are heart attacks. At Cellvie, we are developing a means to transplant viable mitochondria into the compromised cells, to interrupt the said cascade of events, re-enabling the cells to turn oxygen into energy via the mitochondria.
