Evident Vascular, Inc.
Evident Vascular is a San Jose-based medical device startup building an AI-powered intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) platform designed for peripheral vascular interventions. Founded in 2023 and led by CEO Howard Rosen, the company aims to fix the long-standing trade-off between image quality and clinical workflow that has limited IVUS adoption, targeting FDA 510(k) clearance ahead of a U.S. launch. It raised a $35M Series A from Vensana Capital and closed an undisclosed Series B in 2025.
