Co-Founder & Managing Partner at InField Medical

April 2012

InField Medical engages in a process of accelerating medical technologies. Our focus is on low to mid tech technologies that have a defined regulatory approval path (Class I/II 510k) and have a high likelihood of revenue generation and/or strategic interest/exit within a two year time period. An easy way to correlate the InField Medical strategy is to compare it to the great American game of baseball; we concentrate on the Infield; singles & doubles and the occasional triple. We do not “swing for the fences” but instead have multiple companies “on base” to ensure a higher rate of “RBI’s” (Returns Batted In) leading to overall success and fewer “strike outs”.
