BOCA RATON, Fla. (October 3, 2022) – Together with FloSpine, the Research Park at Florida Atlantic University® is pleased to announce that FloSpine is launching an investment offering through StartEngine, in preparation for a new spinal implant product launch. The full offering can be found at: startengine.com/flospine.
FloSpine researches and develops innovative and high-end instruments and medical devices for spinal implants. FloSpine currently has three product lines cleared by the FDA and has a revolutionary new fusion product which is currently under review with the FDA, with an expected launch date in Q1 of 2023.
FloSpine was approached by StartEngine, which is strategically partnered with Kevin O’Leary “Mr. Wonderful”, as the ideal Medical Device company to launch a capital investment raise. StartEngine gives private investors the unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor and invest in a medical device & spinal implant business, starting at just $300.
Since its first product launch in 2015, over 20,000 FloSpine products have been implanted in patients around the USA. In the process, Harris and his team have defied conventional norms, successfully building the company using his own funds and sweat equity to-date, generating $8.5 million in sales, including $1.65 million in 2021.
Peter Harris, Founder and CEO of FloSpine, a spine industry expert for over 20 years, said: “We are very excited to be raising growth capital for FloSpine on the hugely successful crowdfunding platform, StartEngine. Typically, companies work privately with high-net worth investors, venture capital, and angels, where all parties have to be accredited. FloSpine, in partnership with StartEngine gives the power back to everyday people, to begin investing in a cutting-edge business from the comfort of their own homes. ”Dr. John Afshar, MD, neurosurgical spine surgeon at Palm Beach Neuroscience Institute (West Palm Beach, FL), commented “I’ve always been impressed with FloSpine’s ability to innovate meaningful products that I use every day. Their engineers move quickly to improve the design frustrations that large companies’ products have left behind. I’m very excited for their next generation expandable interlaminar fusion device that will catapult their innovation to the next level and provide better care for my patients. “
Participating in the Research Park at FAU’s Global Ventures second-stage entrepreneurial support initiative has enabled the company to access highly qualified and motivated graduate students from FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science who have become full-time employees, access to specialized equipment at Florida Atlantic University and connections to its research faculty.
