Transforming Healthcare with Operator-Led MedTech Investments
Operator-Led MedTech Venture Capital
We partner with visionary entrepreneurs to scale next-gen MedTech globally, solving critical health inefficiencies. Our team brings decades of hands-on experience as founders and operators to not only fund but actively guide companies toward market leadership and successful strategic exits.
One Six 8 Ventures backs entrepreneurs in the early-stage MedTech sector, focusing on high-growth areas including AI-MedTech, surgical tools and robotics, and remote patient monitoring. Our investment approach targets companies in underventured regions, allowing us to identify unique opportunities that others overlook. We provide strategic guidance and connect portfolio companies to large strategic partners, helping them achieve global scale
The Canadian MedTech Opportunity
The Canadian MedTech market presents a compelling opportunity to generate significant returns by funding companies with global impact. Canadian MedTech remains underfunded, creating a favourable investment climate and access to exceptional assets at attractive valuations. This represents an opportune time to focus on MedTech given the urgent global demand driven by aging populations and strained healthcare systems.
Technology has now matured for mass adoption, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, and smart diagnostics. Major strategic acquirers actively pursue innovative technologies to expand their portfolios and address evolving market needs. Consolidation continues across the sector, with acquirers targeting companies that offer advanced digital capabilities, differentiated products, and scalable platforms. This trend appears especially evident in robotics, diagnostics, and connected care.
From An Operator's Perspective
Our team comprises seasoned operators and executives with deep experience in scaling MedTech and life science companies backed by venture capital. With nearly two decades in the industry, we bring hands-on operational leadership and disciplined financial stewardship from C-suite roles.
This allows us to actively partner with portfolio companies post-investment, providing strategic guidance and operational support that proves fundamental to navigating challenges, preserving capital, and accelerating growth toward market leadership.
We understand the journey because we've walked it ourselves. Our expertise extends beyond capital allocation to encompass the strategic and operational realities of building successful MedTech companies in today's competitive landscape.
