U.S. Department of Defense Awards Theradaptive $4 Million Contract for Its OsteoAdapt Regenerative Therapeutic Program

FREDERICK, Md., March 1, 2023 — Today, Theradaptive, a leading biotechnology company specializing in therapeutic delivery platforms, announces a Technology & Therapeutic Development Award (TTDA) of $4 million from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded through the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). The contract will fund its OsteoAdapt regenerative therapeutic product for spine and trauma repair to first in human clinical studies.

Theradaptive’s OsteoAdapt product was granted three breakthrough medical device designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2021 and 2022 for various spinal indications. OsteoAdapt is created by combining AMP2 protein, a novel bone regenerative biologic, with ReBOSSIS, a 510K-approved implant material. OsteoAdapt has the capability to precisely direct bone regrowth where it is needed in the body.

The funds from the DOD contract will enable Theradaptive to continue its work to meet regulatory requirements and scale up Good Manufacturing Practices-compliant manufacturing of the OsteoAdapt product in preparation for clinical studies. After a request for an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) is submitted to the FDA for approval, Theradaptive will initiate human clinical trials.

Theradaptive’s OsteoAdapt, powered by their proprietary AMP2 biologic, has beaten the standard of care in all preclinical studies to date. The DOD funding will enable the development of OsteoAdapt and the promise of life-changing surgery for Service Members and civilians with degenerative or traumatic spinal, extremity, craniomaxillofacial, and dental injuries.  37% of adults over the age of 30 and over 80% of adults over the age of 50 have at least one degenerated vertebral disc.

CEO and founder of Theradaptive, Dr. Luis Alvarez, Ph.D., believes the funding is a major step towards clinical trials: “This award affirms Theradaptive’s rapid and successful execution of earlier stage programs funded by Department of Defense, and provides funding crucial to advance a new kind of therapeutic that upon FDA approval will address massive unmet needs among Service Members, Veterans, and in the general population.”

“We understand the challenges that many service members face, particularly when traumatic extremity injuries progress to limb amputation or when years of physical activity lead to spinal degeneration, disc injury, and pain. The support provided by this contract will accelerate the completion of product development milestones that will allow Theradaptive to reach clinical trials faster and get us one step closer to providing this game-changing therapy to patients who need it most.”

Dr. Leon J. Nesti, a surgeon at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center offers additional perspective: “Starting from early inspiration from Luis’s military career, Theradaptive has made significant progress in developing a regenerative technology that has now been demonstrated for orthopedic repair. Their technology offers a transformative approach to address medical challenges through regenerative mechanisms that stimulate stem cells, including the potential to restore patients’ quality of life by accelerating the process of bone regeneration. This technology is one of the few that addresses the stem cell niche directly by delivering growth factors to those stem cells. This work will have a large scientific impact and will benefit Service Members and Veterans.”

About Theradaptive

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Maryland, U.S., Theradaptive is a venture-backed biopharmaceutical company with the goal of leveraging their therapeutic delivery platform that can deliver biologics where they are needed in the body with high precision and persistence to address unmet medical needs. Theradaptive is led by CEO Luis Alvarez, Ph.D., and its innovative platform has started to enable new therapeutics in spine, orthopedic and soft tissue repair as well as targeted immuno-oncology.

This work is supported by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs under Award No. (W81XWH-22-1-0875) for an amount of $3,979,465.00.

Chef-to-Consumer Marketplace Shef Announces Plans to Expand Nationwide After $73.5 Million Series B

New funding will enable Shef to help thousands more local cooks turn their
culinary talents into a small business

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 2023 — Shef, the nation’s leading chef-to-consumer marketplace, today announced plans to expand nationwide after closing a $73.5 million Series B funding round last year, bringing the company’s total funding to date to more than $100 million. The largest investment ever in a chef-to-consumer marketplace, the funding will help Shef connect talented local cooks anywhere in the United States with customers looking for healthy, high-quality food options prepared by members of their community.

Shef’s previously closed Series B round was led by CRV, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz and Amex Ventures. The round included $7M in venture debt. Other investors include celebrity chefs Andrew Zimmern (Bizarre Foods), Carla Hall (The Chew, Top Chef), Kristen Kish (Top Chef, Iron Chef) and Nyesha Arrington (Next Level Chef); athletes Russell Westbrook, Odell Beckham Jr. and Candace Parker; comedians Jimmy O. Yang and Lilly Singh; entrepreneur and best-selling author Tony Robbins; Visa CFO Vasant Prabhu; AngelList founder Naval Ravikant; Poshmark founder Manish Chandra; and former Airbnb executives Belinda Johnson and Joe Zadeh. They join a long list of existing investors including Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Aarón Sánchez, Andre Iguodala, and Alexis Ohanian.

Shef launched in the Bay Area in 2019 and currently operates in 11 states plus Washington, D.C., reaching 70 million people. Since its launch four years ago, thousands of local, food safety certified “shefs” – 85% of whom are women and 80% people of color – have joined the marketplace. Many are immigrants or refugees, representing nearly 100 countries around the world. Cooks on Shef have earned tens of millions of dollars of net income to support themselves and their families.

“Finding Shef has changed my life here,” said Shef Adriana, a Nicaraguan refugee who was forced to flee her beloved home country and successful Managua restaurant four years ago. “My dream is to open a restaurant again someday. Until then, Shef enables me to share my cherished family recipes with customers and earn much-needed income. It makes me so happy to give my customers a taste of where I come from, hopefully reminding them of their own mother’s or grandmother’s cooking too.”

The new funding will enable Shef to help thousands more local cooks turn their culinary talents into a small business for the first time, while meeting the needs of busy consumers looking for healthy, high-quality meal options. As of 2022, all 50 states now allow for the sale of certain types of homemade food, with many states clarifying laws to embrace and regulate the practice. Starting today, talented cooks anywhere across the country can apply to sell their homemade specialties on Shef. Shef will also be investing in key product developments, including new preference and customization features that will deliver a uniquely personalized experience.

“With our plans to bring Shef nationwide this year, we’re focused on enabling anyone, anywhere to become a food entrepreneur – something that would have been a true economic lifeline for both Alvin’s and my family when they immigrated to the U.S.,” said Shef co-founder and CEO Joey Grassia. “Demand for Shef has grown dramatically over the past four years – both from those interested in cooking on the platform to earn much-needed income, as well as consumers looking for more affordable, healthy ways to feed their families. We’re thrilled to be able to meet this demand and fill a significant gap in the market between home cooking and takeout.”

“Shef is not only incubating the next generation of American food entrepreneurs and future restaurant owners, they’re unlocking an entirely new category of how we feed our families,” said Saar Gur, general partner at CRV. “Neighbors feeding neighbors is already a widely accepted tradition around the world. Now talented local cooks can simultaneously pursue their passion while also providing their families with another meaningful source of income by providing homemade dishes to those nearby, something that’s even more relevant given the tough economy. We’re proud to support a company that puts the interests of shefs front and center while meeting a huge consumer demand for more healthy, high-quality food options in their community.”

“At American Express, we’re all about shopping small and supporting the next generation of small business owners,” said Kevin Tsang, Managing Director for Consumer Services Investments at Amex Ventures. “Shef has turned starting a small food business – something previously cost-prohibitive for most – into a reality for thousands of people across the country. In supporting Shef, we’re honored to invest in a majority female and people of color marketplace that’s dramatically lowering the price of entry into the food industry.”

Beyond supporting the fast-growing community of shefs across the country, Shef is also committed to giving back – both to non-profits and causes in places where Shef operates, as well as around the world. Shef and its customers have donated more than 10,000 meals to those in need. Shef also established an initiative to help Afghan refugees in the wake of the 2021 crisis, expediting the applications of any Afghan refugee interested in cooking on Shef and setting aside $3,500 per person to help pay for training, supplies, and marketing support.

About Shef

Shef is a chef-to-consumer marketplace that enables talented local cooks to connect directly with customers in their community and earn a meaningful income selling authentic, homemade dishes. Shef was founded by Joey Grassia and Alvin Salehi, both sons of immigrants whose parents struggled to make ends meet after arriving in the U.S. The “she” in Shef is in honor of their mothers who worked incredibly hard to support and nourish their families and communities. Shef is their way of bringing a community-based food system to life, where anyone can gain access to a meaningful income and take care of their neighbors, one meal at a time. The service is currently available in several markets across the United States, including San Francisco, New York, New Jersey, Seattle, Chicago, Houston, Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and Atlanta, with plans to expand nationwide this year.

The platform offers a suite of powerful products allowing Helika clients such as Yuga Labs and Treasure to gather sales and royalty data, analyze user wallet activity, onboard new users, and determine optimal mint pricing for future NFT drops.

The lack of visibility on reach, retention, and revenue of NFT collections has been a major challenge for many web3 gaming studios and popular NFT projects.  Helika’s platform provides these insights so that top web3 companies can make informed, strategic decisions.

Helika’s $4 million seed funding round will enable the company to expand its operations and develop its platform to better serve the Web3 community.

Hexa Raises $20.5M in Series A Funding Round

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 1, 2023 — Hexa, a 3D asset visualization and management platform, announced it has raised a $20.5 Million Series A round from Point72 Ventures, Samurai Incubate, Sarona Partners, and HTC. Hexa’s proprietary tech stack digitizes products like furniture and fashion using existing 2D images and AI, creating a new 3D model, a digital twin of the physical object. This digital twin can then be deployed on websites, social media and in AR applications. The models are interactive, too. Consumers control the model with their cursor, allowing them to inspect the asset from any angle. Hexa provides storage, management, distribution, and analysis of the models its customers create.

Hexa believes the Internet will increasingly become 3D. These 3D spaces in the Metaverse need to be populated with dimensional objects, furnishings, displays, merchandise. Users can do more than simply look at things, they can navigate around them. Product pages will increasingly use 3D representations, replacing traditional 2D pictures and thumbnails. Hexa’s 3D tools guide brands and retailers as they create, manage, distribute, and analyze 3D projects.

“We are convinced 3D content will be at the heart of all online and offline retail,” says Hexa CEO and co-founder Yehiel Atias. “You have to make it easy to use, inexpensive, and fast to return on your investment.” Old methods of creating assets through photogrammetry or lidar scanning are less accurate and more expensive.

Amazon, Macy’s, Logitech, Unity and Crate & Barrel are among the dozens of companies that now use the Hexa 3D platform for making, managing and deploying their 3D assets. The models can be moved onto any web page, social media site, or game engine with a snippet of code. Hexa’s 3D Viewer facilitates parallel processing, loading at the maximum frames per second without sacrificing computational power. 3D models load as quickly as 2D images and are immediately interactive.

“Taking a product library, converting it to 3D, inspecting it and deploying it is a tremendous undertaking,” said co-founder and CTO Jonathan Clark. “But we’ve eliminated the pain points with a fast, scalable solution to a very specific problem everyone selling anything in the Metaverse is going to encounter.”

Having raised $1.2 million in pre-seed funding and $5.5 million in seed funding rounds, Hexa’s total funding to date stands at $27.2 million. With a team of 100 global employees working in engineering and business development, the company aims to utilize the new funding to support further expansion. 

About Hexa
Founded in 2018, Hexa is an industry leader focused on its mission to build the world’s most powerful 3D tech stack, supporting the many use cases of synthetic data. Hexa’s technology enables businesses to create, manage, distribute, and analyze high-fidelity 3D models, 360-degree viewing, and AR experiences at scale.

Viper Partners launches new loan and real estate division for doctors and medical practice owners

PALM BEACH, Fla., March 1, 2023 — Newly rebranded Viper Equity Partners, now Viper Partners, has launched a new division offering equipment, expansion and acquisition loans to doctors and medical business owners nationwide. As the MSO and DSO markets continue to enjoy massive growth, Viper recognizes that many doctors are not ready to sell. A newly launched program offers loans up to $10M with fast approvals and very competitive rates. Leading this new division is industry veteran, Karen E. Vickers. “I am so excited about this opportunity and agree with Viper on the necessity for “Top Shelf” representation for doctors looking for financial help.” Viper, true to form, has strong relationships with leading lenders, including JP Morgan Chase, and a goal of matching clients with programs that make sense (offering preapprovals in 72 hours in most cases).

Viper gets the business and understands doctors’ needs. Viper Founder, David C. Branch, saw the hole in their business model. “We have helped thousands of doctors with transitions and sale deals but not everyone is ready for an exit due to their age or specific goals. We want to help them now with their growth plans and then be there for them when it is time to exit.”

Viper will represent all doctors and provide assistance whether they need simple equipment loans, full expansion financing, buildouts, acquisitions or loan refinancing. Viper has a strong reputation among lenders which enables them to secure loan packages with better rates than brokers or doctors can get on their own.

Also new is Viper’s national roll out of a premier real estate division focused on selling medical commercial buildings. Armed with a national contract with Coldwell Banker, Viper launched this division in January and already has 17 properties under contract. Again, Viper responded to the demand from their clients to help them sell their buildings. Partners at Viper have over 30 years experience in this market, which is a huge benefit to doctors across all specialties. “It is so important in real estate to have true representation and knowledge. Exceptional deals are very available and we have the name and reputation that doctors trust,” stated David C. Branch.

Viper understands the medical business from both sides of the table. Their strong suit is bringing growth-minded practice owners to private equity and financing partners, and now with the launch of the Loan and Real Estate divisions, they continue to dominate all things medical and bring superior support to medical professionals.

WELL Makes Investment in doctorly and Launches Strategic Alliance, to tech enable German Doctors

  • doctorly GmbH (“doctorly”), is an innovative provider of comprehensive practice management software based in Germany.
  • WELL Ventures, the venture capital arm of WELL, is leading an investment round in doctorly alongside Horizons Ventures and a syndicate of leading venture capital firms.
  • As part of the investment and strategic alliance agreements, the Ocean platform, created by WELL’s wholly owned subsidiary, CognisantMD, will be used as the exclusive booking and practice engagement platform for doctorly. This will be WELL’s first commercial launch into the European market.

VANCOUVER, BC, March 1, 2023 – WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (OTCQX: WHTCF) (Frankfurt: W7V.F) (“WELL” or the “Company“), a company focused on positively impacting health outcomes by leveraging technology to empower healthcare providers and their patients globally, is pleased to announce it has made a strategic investment, through its wholly owned subsidiary, WELL Ventures, in doctorly GmbH (“doctorly“), a medical practice management software provider based in Germany. WELL Ventures is investing as part of a syndicate of investors including of some of the world’s most renowned venture capital firms such as Horizons Ventures, The Delta Force AG, Speedinvest, UNIQA Ventures, Calm Storm and Seedcamp.

doctorly was founded in 2018 to overhaul the highly regulated medical practice software industry. doctorly’s home market of Germany still heavily relies on software built in the 1980’s and lags behind global competitors. Antiquated software and a lack of innovation has led to material inefficiencies. According to the Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung’ (“KBV“), the regulator for state practicing doctors in Germany, medical practices spend an average of 61 working days per year on administrative tasks. doctorly has built a modernized operating system that has successfully reduced the time dedicated to administrative tasks within practices cut in half. doctorly is currently the only venture capital backed start up in Germany with regulatory approval to sell and distribute practice management software, giving the company a unique opportunity for growth.

“There are two key firsts with this important event. This is our first co-investment with our friends and partners at Horizons Ventures and our first investment and collaboration agreement in Europe” said Hamed Shahbazi, CEO and Founder of WELL. “WELL and doctorly operate on the same principle of tech-enabling health care practitioners to improve patient outcomes. A key part of this important investment is the opportunity to secure the exclusive rights to launch our very popular and growing Ocean platform for online patient bookings in Germany with a strong and upcoming practice management tool in a market many times the size of Canada.”

Proceeds from the investing round will be used to invest in accelerating its growth in Germany. This will involve developing new features and functionality to reduce administrative costs and free up more time for healthcare professionals to focus on delivering healthcare.

WELL and doctorly will also work together on future projects within the German healthcare market following this investment round. The first of which involves the Ocean platform that was created by WELL’s subsidiary CognisantMD. The Ocean platform will be used as the exclusive booking and practice engagement platform for doctorly.

“Since inception, we have worked very closely with doctors and healthcare professionals to build an operating system that works for them” said Samir El-Alami, CEO and Founder of doctorly. “Our relationships have enabled us to build a practice management system that is modern, easy to use, secure and connects with other modern technologies. This commitment to improving the lives of our practitioners has led to excellent customer feedback, early sales traction, and now this investment round with pre-eminent investors and a strategic partner with WELL. This investment round makes doctorly the first company with regulatory approval to sell its software in Germany to receive VC funding.”

WELL Ventures’ mandate is to invest in and advance the digitization and modernization of healthcare in Canada and around the globe through venture-style investments in early-stage digital health companies. WELL Ventures’ graduates include Circle Medical and Insig; while current portfolio companies include Phelix.ai, Bright, Twig Fertility, Focus Mental Wellness, and Pillway.
