AAVantgarde Bio
Funding: $206.3M
AAVantgarde Bio is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that develops retinal disease gene therapies. One of its drugs is intended at patients with Stargardt disease, a leading cause of vision loss in children and young adults. By delivering the full-length ABCA4 protein, AAVantgarde hopes that it can address the root cause of this eye condition. Another asset is for patients with retinitis pigmentosa associated with Usher syndrome - rare genetic disease that affects both hearing and vision. AAVantgarde says that its proprietary technology has demonstrated high transduction, protein expression and safety for both Stargardt and Usher 1B.

Huvant
Huvant is a phygital medical simulation platform that supports pre-operative planning and device validation using realistic pathological anatomies. Complex procedures involve a high level of uncertainty. Understanding in advance how a strategy or a device will perform in real-life conditions helps optimize clinical outcomes, timelines and patient safety. Huvant’s platform reduces this uncertainty by enabling clinicians and medical companies to simulate procedures and test devices before reaching the patient, within a controlled and realistic environment. Clinicians can explore access pathways, analyze critical structures (landmarks, volumes, etc.), and compare different operative strategies. This allows the entire team to align around a shared plan that is safer and more predictable.
