Insights from the Second IRSUS Virtual Pitch Event
If you have ever looked for an investment, the first thing you heard of was most probably pitching. These events take place at conferences or summits where you have to personally present your idea and introduce your company. The participating investors may have interest in your business, but chances are that you are not in their target group.
The aim of the IRSUS Virtual Pitch Event is to bridge this gap between the investors’ interest and the field of companies by eliminating the geographical distance. Innovators are pre-selected for these events by concentrating on their field of work and the maturity of their company and investors are invited based on their interest. This is why the IRSUS Virtual Pitch Event is unique and more effective than other offline pitch events.
The last event was held at the 31st of October, to end the month with inspiring ideas and new contacts! Companies from the healthcare field presented their ideas, products and answered questions about the future of their ideas and plans. Let’s have a quick overview of what we seen:
Defymed develops innovative implantable medical devices that allow the delivery of therapeutics in a physiological site to improve clinical efficiency and patients’ comfort. First application of Defymed’s devices is the treatment of diabetes, an alarming worldwide epidemic. The core component of these devices consists of biocompatible, non-biodegradable and permeable membranes with specific characteristics: permeable to molecules of interest, such as insulin, and in some cases, impermeable to the host’s immune-system.

The company is in the advanced stages of development and is preparing to launch two key technology offerings: A hands-free mobile application that enables face-to-face verbal communication between individuals and software integration with existing operating systems, smart assistants, and smart homes, enabling accessibility to mainstream voice-driven technologies for aging adults and individuals with disabilities, thereby enhancing independence and quality of life.
