Thesis

Our investment approach at KIC Ventures is broadly influenced by long-term secular forces shaping the spine surgery market.

Our investment decisions are informed by a deep network of partners consisting of orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, pain management physicians, and distributors.

By staying uniquely engaged with those on the front lines of outpatient spine surgery we are able to acquire or invent differentiated technology solutions to execute continuous improvements to build the market, and discontinuous improvements to change the market.
