CEO/PRESIDENT , VERTOS MEDICAL
WHY:Runs Aliso Viejo provider of minimally invasive treatments for back pain, which is finding believers for its expansion plans. I
IN THE NEWS:Raised $26M this year. NOTABLE: Has goal of performing 30,000 procedures annually, up from 2,000 a few years ago.
QUOTABLE:“The big difference for us (in recent fundraise) was that we were proven commercially successful already. We doubled sales last year. There are still unpenetrated markets. The fact that we have a plan to get to profitability, sometime at the end of the year, attracted investors.”
