anticipated with outstanding investors. I am always impressed
with both the attendees and the superb organization of these meetings
and very appreciative of what Medtech Insight has contributed
to our success.
Thomas E. Wood

Medtech Insight’s conferences give me the opportunity to quickly
identify companies that could be of interest to our firm, and

as it were during the breakout sessions. In short, over a very
brief period of time I can determine which companies might be
truly of interest to us without expending a lot of time and expense.
Dr. Alan Kaganov

Medtech Insight provides the best way I know to rapidly review
investment opportunities and get a good sense of where the whole

list. I get great value for my investment of time and money: top-shelf
emerging companies presenting in the kind of environment that
allows me to engage them in a meaningful manner if I choose.
John Deedrick
Managing Director

I recently attended my first Medtech Insight meeting. In
just two days I got a comprehensive education about what’s at
the leading-edge in medical technology. Equally important, I got
the opportunity to get a feel for the management of the companies

conferences.

We presented our story at a Medtech Insight conference in October
2001, where we began dialogues with VCs. We got our first term
sheet the following spring and series ‘A’ funding shortly thereafter.
There’s no doubt Medtech Insight helped us then, so we’re presenting
again, in Boston, as we organize our series ‘B’ funding.
Larry Blankenship
President & CEO

The Boston conference in October will be our second Medtech

I make it my business to attend many of the major investment
banking-orchestrated conferences around the country and throughout

get interested and start a conversation with me. Medtech Insight's
got a really good thing going here for emerging medtech companies.

I consistently find that Medtech Insight conferences are
an excellent platform for cross-pollination of ideas, strategic
alliances and, of course, potential funding − in other words,
one-stop shopping for mission-critical partnering and financing
activities. ... the format Medtech Insight uses at their
conferences is very effective. In our case, two venture capitalists
were particularly interested, both of whom followed up −
one of them by phone the next day, who is now conducting advanced
due diligence for an investment of approximately $5 million. That's
a very good place for us to be right now, thanks to the Medtech
Insight conference.
Ronny Ginor, M.D.
