When we opened this round, we set out to do something bold:  give everyone the opportunity to be part of the future of life-saving injections. And you answered the call.

Thanks to you, Pirouette has officially raised over $8M from 4,600+ investors, making this the largest community investment round in history. We surpassed nearly 9,000 companies โ€“ including the previous record-holder, Substack. 

Reasons to celebrate:

๐Ÿ’ฅ$8M+ raised

๐ŸŒŽ4,600+ investors standing with us

๐Ÿ’ก#1 community investment round of all time

๐Ÿ† Named NH Tech Alliance Product of the Year

๐Ÿ“œ 22 patents awarded (including 4 new ones!)

๐Ÿ”ฌ Recognized as an NIH Top Innovation Company

๐ŸŽ“ Completed the NIH I-CORP program for our naloxone auto-injector

๐Ÿฅ‡ Won every pitch competition: KingsCrowd Demo Day, Kernal, Product of the Year


The overwhelming support for Pirouette proves that the world is ready for a change in how life-saving injections are delivered. Our next-generation auto-injector is set to revolutionize the $824B injectable medicine market, making injections as easy as pushing a button. Weโ€™re starting with epinephrine for severe allergies and naloxone for opioid overdoses, with future applications in obesity treatments, IVF, glucagon, flu vaccines, and more.

Weโ€™re honored to be called "the greatest medical device invented of all time" by Jeff Brown, a renowned tech futurist and early-stage investor.

None of this would be possible without you. Your support, belief, and investment have helped us break records and take a massive step toward bringing this technology to the people who need it most.

Thank you for making history with us. Hereโ€™s to the future of injections!

With gratitude,

Conor

Congratulations! Looking forward to many more innovations from the team making early investors profitable as well.
Like death and taxes, injections are an inescapable, anxiety-provoking fact of life that every human on the face of the planet experiences sooner or later in life. Which is why Pirouette's crowdfunding campaign resonated so instinctively. We want a better, less cringe-worthy future in injection delivery. And Conor and the team at Pirouette are answering that clarion call! I can't wait to relish visits to the hospital, when I enthusiastically keep my sleeve rolled down and say "Just stick it to me!"
Conor & team, you did it! Congratulations!
