🌟 A fantastic achievement from one of our Medical Angels portfolio companies, NeoGenix Biosciences pty ltd! Their cutting-edge microfluidic sperm selection device has been highlighted in the Gold Coast Bulletin, showcasing its potential to advance fertility treatments. In a pilot study with Melbourne IVF, the device demonstrated its ability to select sperm with higher motility and lower DNA fragmentation - key factors for successful embryo development. By mimicking the natural sperm selection process of the female reproductive tract, this technology provides a gentler and more effective alternative to traditional methods. With clinical validation ongoing and manufacturing scaling up, we’re proud to support Neogenix as they work toward making their solution available to clinics worldwide. 🌍 NeoGenix Biosciences pty ltd Steven Vasilescu Majid Ebrahimi Warkiani, CINSW Fellow Dr Bi, Mian Dr Amandeep H.

📢📢📢 Australian Medical Angels is taking a huge leap forward! 📢📢📢 We are beyond delighted to announce that Australian Medical Angels has secured funding from LaunchVic to establish a new venture fund. This initiative, part of the Victorian Government's $2.4 million investment in eight new VC funds, is set to inject vital early-stage capital into Victorian startups. As Australia’s largest syndicate of clinician and health-focused angel investors, this funding will enable us to launch an early-stage VC fund focused on advancing the next generation of health-related startups. Led by our co-founders Dr Amandeep Hansra and Dr Bi, Mian, the new fund is poised to make a significant impact on advancing cutting-edge healthcare solutions and strengthening the healthcare innovation ecosystem. The startup ecosystem has grown significantly in recent years, with the number of startups in Victoria more than tripling since 2017. However, early-stage venture capital remains a critical need. We are honored to contribute to this initiative, which aims to channel over $300 million into Victorian startups, thanks to the support of the Victorian Government and LaunchVic. A huge thank you to LaunchVic for their commitment to strengthening Victoria’s startup landscape, and a hearty congratulations to the other grant recipients! Stay tuned for more updates!

We were lucky to have two tables of extra special Med Angels guests, and we connected with the best and the brightest of the startup ecosystem, including many of our beloved portfolio founders and investors 🌟 A highlight of the evening was our co-founder, Dr Amandeep H., being selected to participate in a panel discussion with Rachael Neumann, Ben Armstrong and Leigh Jasper. Another standout moment was when Michael Wang, founder of our portfolio company Telecare, took the stage to perform a song, making the evening oh so memorable! 🎶 We are deeply appreciative of LaunchVic, who have been long-term supporters of Australian Medical Angels and continue to be THE cornerstone of the startup ecosystem in Victoria 🚀 There was also a significant announcement made about Medical Angels at the event - keep your eyes peeled for more details to follow very soon!! 👀 LaunchVic Kate Cornick Michael Wang Dr Amandeep H.
