Twelve years ago I walked into a bank with a paper check from the one and only Ratan Tata and asked to open an account, because he wanted to invest. This week, on World Osteoporosis Day, our community round went fully live, and now anyone can.The response has moved me more than I expected. Some of the very first people to come in were orthopedic surgeons, the people who would actually perform this procedure, and reservations have come in from across healthcare and from more than fifteen countries. When the people closest to a problem put their own money behind the solution, it tells you something no survey can.For anyone new here: we take a few of the adult stem cells that grew you in the first place, give them a shape to fill, a bit of diet and exercise, and a few weeks later there is a living piece of bone or cartilage, ready to go back in. Twelve years, 3 INDs and $60M+ from institutional investors, family offices and government grants have gotten us here, and we are still the first and only company cleared by the FDA to run clinical trials of stem-cell-grown bone and cartilage. We opened this round because the people this work is for deserve a seat at the table too.If you have already reserved, the most helpful thing now is to confirm and fund your investment so your place is locked in. If you have been meaning to join, the round is open and we’d love to have you. And if someone comes to mind who has asked how to get involved, please send them our way.Thank you for being part of this. More updates soon! 💙🦴
