We invest exclusively in the medical device industry. The knowledge and network built as a result of focusing on only one industry improves the success of start-up companies we work with and helps us make better investment decisions.

We believe a company's success is determined by the people, not the capital. We look for exceptional people with innovative ideas. We then work with these individuals and their companies as their trusted source of advice and support.

We believe the best support comes from a diverse team that has been through the trenches. Our directors and advisors are entrepreneurs and industry leaders with backgrounds in business, medicine and engineering. The Norwich team works collaboratively with each company we invest in to ensure it reaches its greatest potential. We help companies speed up development processes, hire management teams and formulate market strategies.

We like to become involved early in the life of a company. We believe our hands-on approach provides the greatest value when a company is still young. We like to be the first outside investor, although we will consider other opportunities when we feel we can add significant value to the company.

We look for innovative devices that have the potential to make a dramatic impact on patient well-being and the health care system. The best investments have a unique, patentable technology that addresses a large unmet need. We are constantly on the lookout for new ideas and encourage entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals and inventors to engage us early in their process.
