Image Navigation
Image Navigation is a US-headquartered, Jerusalem-developed medical device company that builds IGI (Image Guided Implantology), a real-time surgical navigation and robotics system for dental implant surgery. It turns a pre-operative CT scan into a live 3D map of a patient's anatomy, tracks the drill with sub-millimeter accuracy, and adds a robotic autostop that shuts the drill off the instant it strays from the planned path - giving dentists the safety of robotics without a rigid robotic arm.
LuxCreo
LuxCreo is a digital manufacturing company turning dental clinics and labs into same-day production floors. Its patented LEAP (Light Enabled Additive Production) printers, ActiveMemory polymers, and LuxFlow software combine to deliver FDA-cleared, directly 3D-printed clear aligners, night guards, dentures and crowns - cutting weeks of traditional workflow down to hours.
Daniel Garren
Daniel Garren is an Investor Relations Analyst at Image Navigation, an Israeli-American medical device company building the IGI 2.0 hybrid surgical navigation and robotics system for dental implant surgery. Reporting directly to the CEO, he sits at the intersection of finance and frontier medtech, helping translate a small Jerusalem-and-New-Jersey engineering shop's high-precision technology into a story investors can believe in. With a Columbia background and medical studies at Oxford, he brings a clinician-curious eye to capital.
Impress
Impress is a Barcelona-based orthodontic company building Europe's largest chain of clear-aligner clinics. Founded in 2019, it pairs in-clinic, orthodontist-led treatment with AI-driven planning and remote digital monitoring to make discreet teeth straightening faster, more convenient, and more affordable. After acquiring DrSmile in 2024, Impress operates over 110 clinics across roughly ten countries in Europe and the United States.
Nichole Garcia
Nichole Garcia is Co-Founder and President of OrthoFX, the doctor-delivered clear aligner startup she built with two former Invisalign executives. With a BS in Biochemistry from UCLA, an MBA from Pepperdine, and a diploma from Oxford, she spent two decades running global divisions at Philips Oral Care and Align Technology before co-founding OrthoFX in 2017. The company raised $17M total - including a $13M Series A led by SignalFire in 2020 - to commercialize a proprietary FXTetra polymer that delivers 50% faster treatment, paired with an AI-powered remote monitoring platform called FXOnTrack.
OrthoFX
OrthoFX is a Fremont, California clear-aligner company building the next generation of orthodontic care - shorter-wear NiTime aligners made of a proprietary HyperElastic polymer, paired with FXOnTrack, an AI platform that lets doctors monitor patients remotely. Founded by Invisalign veterans, it is a hybrid B2B/D2C model designed to make straight teeth predictable, affordable, and a lot less tedious.
Mike Yang
Mike Yang is the co-founder and CEO of LuxCreo, the company behind the world's first FDA Class II 510(k)-cleared direct-print clear aligner. A Harvard PhD and Wharton MBA, Yang spent a decade at Bloom Energy raising over $1B in green technology before pivoting to reinvent dentistry with light-based additive manufacturing. Under his leadership LuxCreo secured backing from Kleiner Perkins, achieved FDA clearance in 2022, launched in Europe in 2025, and is pushing same-day, in-clinic aligner production into mainstream dentistry.
