CHICAGO, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nurse Capital, a venture capital firm that invests in nurse-led enterprises providing innovative solutions in healthcare, is pleased to announce its first seed-round investments in two startup businesses that serve both patients and nurses with innovative, first-of-their-kind products in the medical device and digital media platform spaces.
“As we make our first investments into these two innovative nurse-owned companies, we are not only providing capital but also deploying the strength of our carefully curated network of nurse executive leaders,” stated Nurse Capital Co-founder Beth A. Brooks, PhD, RN, FACHE. “The expertise and insights of these nurse leaders will be instrumental in accelerating the growth of these ventures, helping them navigate the complexities of healthcare and scale their impact across the industry.”
The companies are:
“As experienced healthcare providers themselves, the team at Nurse Capital are the perfect partners for helping to grow our business because they know firsthand the daily challenges care providers face trying to prevent and treat pressure injuries like bedsores,” stated Wave Therapeutics Founder/CEO Jessica Bussert. “Their real-world experience in this area allowed them to be able to immediately recognize the life-saving technology we’ve created to solve this healthcare crisis, which costs the US economy over $30 billion annually.”
“Nurse Capital’s belief in us and their investment are a testament to the critical role nurses play in shaping the future of healthcare,” stated The Nursing Beat’s Co-founder and CEO Tamara AL-Yassin. “We’re not just growing a media platform. We’re nurturing a community that amplifies the collective voice of nurses and drives positive change in healthcare delivery.”
Noted Nurse Capital Co-founder Marla Weston, PhD, RN, FAAN: “Nurse Capital is supporting the innovative thinking nurses bring to healthcare with the business knowledge to bring ideas to life. Together, we are empowering nurse entrepreneurs to drive meaningful change in healthcare.”
