🚀 Exciting News! 🚀
I am thrilled to announce that Avance Innovations and our game changing, patented device #ORASIS have been selected in the world's largest accelerator for medical device and digital health, the US MedTech Innovator Accelerator Cohort 2024! Out of 1400 global applications, only 65 companies were chosen, and we are incredibly proud and grateful to be 1 of only 5 companies selected on the prestigious American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) track and to be backed by the ASPS. This achievement follows our success from winning the runner-up prize at the ASPS Innovation Challenge 2023.
🚀 The accelerator boasts a 5% acceptance rate, selecting only the most game-changing innovations. With over $8B in follow-on equity funding and 45 exits/acquisitions, we are truly honored to be part of this prestigious program.
🙏 A heartfelt thank you to the judges who believed in us during the highly competitive pitch event. Your support, feedback and belief in our vision have been invaluable. We also extend our gratitude to the incredible team who organized and coordinated these high-quality, large-scale pitch events so seamlessly - thank you!
🛣️ Our journey has been exhilarating and filled with invaluable learning experiences thus far. We are excited for the incredible mentorship, support, and the opportunity to join a vibrant ecosystem that will fast-track our progress and help us achieve our goal of commercialisation towards the end of this year (which we are on track for!). The support and events of the accelerator program will undoubtedly propel us closer to our goal, and I cannot wait to connect and learn from the incredible folks on the programme, from mentors, fellow cohort participants, industry experts, to investors! 🙌
Congratulations also to the other incredible companies in this cohort! I look forward to connecting with you all at the upcoming Summit.
🤝 Partners, investors, and other stakeholders, please feel free to reach out. We are eager to engage and collaborate to advance surgical innovation together!
🙏 Lastly, to my incredible Co-Founder Prof Joon Pio Hong, mentors, family, colleagues and friends who have been part of this journey thus far, Avance would not be here without you, thank you! 🌟
