Proprio
Proprio is a Seattle medical technology company building an AI-powered surgical navigation platform, Paradigm, that uses light field imaging, computer vision, and machine learning to give surgeons a continuous, radiation-free 3D view of anatomy during spine surgery. Spun out of the University of Washington in 2016, the company fuses live intraoperative sensing with preoperative scans - a capability it calls Volumetric Intelligence - to improve precision, capture surgical data, and build a foundation model for surgery.
Gabriel Jones
Gabriel Jones is the co-founder and CEO of Proprio, a Seattle medtech company building AI-powered surgical navigation. Its FDA-cleared Paradigm platform combines light-field imaging, real-time AI, and 3D visualization to give surgeons dynamic spatial awareness during spine procedures. Jones took an unusual path to medtech - engineering study in Japan, civil engineering at Taisei, Wall Street M&A, and work with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - before co-founding Proprio in 2016 with a neurosurgeon, a robotics professor, and a computer vision specialist. He frames the mission around a single question: is it possible to do well and do good?
Xvisio Technology Corporation
Xvisio Technology Corporation is a Silicon Valley-founded spatial computing company building the visual SLAM engines, sensor-fusion modules, and mixed-reality hardware that let machines and headsets understand where they are in physical space. Its SeerSense modules and SeerLens MR glasses - built on a low-latency VPU pipeline it calls SlimEdge XR - power 6DoF tracking, depth sensing, and on-device AI inferencing for AR headsets, robots, and industrial devices across healthcare, manufacturing, education, and logistics.
Illuminant Surgical
Illuminant Surgical is a Culver City / Los Angeles medical device startup building Skylight, a real-time anatomical projection system that displays a patient's internal imaging directly onto their skin during surgery. Using AI, computer vision and dynamic projection mapping - technology borrowed in part from entertainment-industry projection artists - the company aims to give surgeons a kind of 'x-ray vision' for spine surgery, cancer biopsies and other image-guided procedures without forcing them to look away from the operating field.
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.
Mina Fahim
Mina Fahim is the CEO and President of MediView XR, a Cleveland-based medical technology company giving clinicians a form of 3D 'X-ray vision' by fusing CT scans and live ultrasound into holograms surgeons can see through a headset. A University of Minnesota-trained biomedical engineer and former Medtronic research engineer, he helped steer MediView to the first FDA 510(k) clearance for an AR device that combines live imaging with 3D XR visualization (the XR90), a $24M Series A led by GE HealthCare, and the world's first-in-human AR tumor ablation at the Cleveland Clinic. His mantra: simplify, democratize, and inform care.
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.
Eldrick Millares
Eldrick Millares is the co-founder and co-CEO of Illuminant Surgical, a Los Angeles deep-tech company building Skylight, the first real-time anatomical projection system. It paints a patient's internal anatomy directly onto their skin so surgeons get a kind of live X-ray vision, no headset required. A Stanford-trained electrical engineer who immigrated from the Philippines to West Virginia, he built sensing systems at Apple and a lidar startup before teaming up with Stanford classmate Dr. James Hu. The pair went through Y Combinator, were named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in Healthcare, and raised an $8.4M seed round in 2026.
MediView XR, Inc.
MediView XR is a Cleveland, Ohio med-tech company building augmented-reality 'X-ray vision' for surgeons. Founded in 2017 on Cleveland Clinic intellectual property, MediView's FDA-cleared XR90 platform and OmnifyXR Interventional Suite let clinicians see a patient's 3D anatomy - bone, tissue, organs, and vasculature - holographically projected through the skin during minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided procedures. Backed by GE HealthCare, Mayo Clinic, and Cleveland Clinic, the company raised a $24M Series A in October 2025.
