22nd Annual Musculoskeletal New Ventures Conference (MNVC)
October 29, 2024
Gary Stevenson, Managing Director of HealthpointCapital, hosted the 22nd annual Musculoskeletal New Ventures Conference (www.mnvc.org) on October 29-30 in Memphis, TN. It was our largest event ever with more than 220 people in attendance. A potent mix of investors, entrepreneurs, surgeons, and business development teams from the major strategics rely on the MNVC for the latest updates on new and emerging trends in the musculoskeletal industry.
- Entrepreneurs from 40 private musculoskeletal companies at various stages of development presented this year, including first-time presenter Chris Whitmore from SteriCUBE.
- Investors from private equity and venture debt firms were on an investor panel, including Mike Mogul from HealthpointCapital.
- Regulatory advisors participated in an informative panel discussion on the MDR process, recent changes at the FDA, and much more.
- For the first time, we added a panel called “MNVC Winners Circle” featuring entrepreneurs from past MNVC events that have since successfully exited. Vernon Hartdegen, co-founder and former CEO of CrossRoads Extremity (an exited Healthpoint portfolio company), was on the panel.
