XII Medical
XII Medical is a Union City, California medical device company building a minimally invasive neuromodulation therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Founded in 2017 and led by CEO Garrett Schwab, the company is developing an implantable platform designed to be smaller, more flexible and easier to implant than existing nerve-stimulation systems - an alternative for the estimated 425 million people worldwide with moderate-to-severe OSA who struggle with CPAP masks. Backed by Cleveland Clinic, Ajax Health, Omega Funds and Intuitive Ventures, XII Medical closed a $45M Series B in August 2024 to fund product and clinical development.
Sleep Reset
Sleep Reset is a San Francisco digital sleep clinic that brings the methods of an in-person sleep center to a phone. Built around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), it pairs each user with a human sleep coach and a personalized, multi-week program instead of pills. Founded by serial entrepreneur Yunha Kim after her own years-long battle with insomnia and sleep apnea, the program was developed with researchers from Stanford, Yale and other institutions, and is used by thousands of people seeking a no-pill path to better sleep.
