Spine Align LLC, a medical device company developing a portfolio of products that enable spine surgeons to measure, visualize, and adjust patients' spinal alignment during surgery, recently closed a $1.75 million Series Seed round. The financing is led by the Rockies Venture Club, with additional support by members of the Berkeley Angel Network, NO/LA Angel Network, Pasadena Angels, Bellingham Angels, the Abell Foundation, and VentureWell. This round supports development efforts to achieve U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for its flagship product, LiveAlign, in 2021.
"This milestone is a culmination of years of tireless work by our team to build an innovative platform of products that rethink what's possible for spine surgeons today. We could not be more grateful to our investor partners, medical and business advisory board members, and engineering team to bring us to where we are today and where we are heading," said Amir Soltanianzadeh, CEO and co-founder.
"The solution that Spine Align has developed will have a dramatic impact on spinal surgery. Rockies Venture Club was proud to lead this funding round and found that many investors across the country saw the same potential in the company," added Dave Harris, director of Operations at Rockies Venture Club.
