“All of us know someone who needs treatment for an orthopedic or spine condition. I find it very fulfilling that when we make an investment, it ultimately helps surgeons provide better care—and benefits patients as well. This year, we have many surgeons and PhDs presenting, and we also have more women entrepreneurs participating. That is something to be proud of.”
"MNVC is a uniquely intimate meeting providing a rare opportunity to connect 1:1 with entrepreneurs, investors and industry leaders. Entrepreneurs interested in getting the word out to investors should be presenting or at least attending. There is no other conference quite like it. That’s why folks come back year after year.”
“Medtronic has been a sponsor every year since the MNVC began 13 years ago. In fact, we increased our sponsorship level last year. No other annual event allows our Medtronic team to see so many new and emerging start-ups in just a day and half. And its all right here in Memphis..”
“MNVC is an incredible opportunity for companies to present to larger organizations, investors, and other key stakeholders in the industry as they grow and seek support, guidance, capital, and eventually an exit. These are the people who can help them get there. The beautiful thing is to see companies that have been here, developed and eventually get to their goals, whether it is to raise money or to sell. Because of the companies we see here, patient care is far more advanced than it was 20 years ago.”
“My decision to attend MVNC each year is based upon the exceptional concentration of investors, large and small corporate strategics, and fellow business leaders in one manageable setting. MNVC has done an excellent job creating an environment that is conducive to meaningful interactions with the industry’s most important decision makers.”
“IlluminOSS actually creates stability in patients with severely compromised bone. We enable patients to keep and use their native bone versus having it replaced with more metals. Everyone is at MNVC looking at different way to solve problems in healthcare. There are patients impacted by all of these technologies everywhere around the world."
“ImmersiveTouch offers virtual reality and augmented reality for pre-surgical planning and inner-operative guidance, allowing surgeons to enhance precision, and reduce operating times. I would describe MNVC as the best use of my time. I’ve already made three calls telling friends in the startup space that they need to be here."
“The MNVC is an important event for orthopedic business development executives and has been for many years. It provides a great opportunity for updates on progress and relationships in the start-up community. We get to meet with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and technology transfer experts all in one place.”
“MNVC is a fantastic event with a compact format of informational sessions and networking opportunities. In addition to providing insights on recent developments in the orthopedics industry, it also provides a great opportunity to network with industry executives and just see old friends still active in medical devices. I look forward to attending MNVC every year.”
“As regulatory consultants, it’s important for us to be up to date on novel technologies emerging in the musculoskeletal device industry, and MNVC is a great resource. The panel discussions provide insight on how current issues are pressing small and large companies. Catching up with past colleagues and networking with new contacts is a pleasant highlight in between sessions.”
“MNVC is a great venue for entrepreneurs to gain exposure, connections, and industry knowledge. We are always able to pack our schedule with meetings and the connections we have made have proven to be very valuable. We go every year, even when we are not fundraising. I believe MNVC is a “must do” for entrepreneurs in musculoskeletal startups.”
