Carecubes
Carecubes makes the Carecube, an FDA 510(k)-cleared negative-pressure isolation canopy that turns any standard hospital bed into an airborne-isolation unit in about 20 minutes. Born from a DARPA-funded Ebola-era project at San Francisco research lab Otherlab, the device pulls air through an H14 HEPA filter, holds negative pressure, and lets caregivers reach patients through glove walls - isolating the pathogen instead of the patient. The Arden Hills, Minnesota company closed a $6.5M Series A in March 2026 and has deployed across dozens of communities and health systems.
Zenysis Technologies
Zenysis Technologies builds data-integration and analytics software for governments and health institutions in low- and middle-income countries. Its flagship product, Harmony, is an open-source platform that pulls together fragmented health data - program records, financials, geospatial layers, surveys - into a single workspace so decision-makers can respond to disease outbreaks, run vaccination campaigns, and manage national health programs. Founded in 2016 by former UN diplomat Jonathan Stambolis, the company has deployed across roughly ten countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and is backed by grant funders including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Gavi, and the Global Fund.
