Cherry Ventures – Founders first. For companies that last.

You know what’s behind every product and service we now can’t live without? A founder. Someone who saw what the world needed before the world even knew it. Someone who started by asking the right questions, and never stopped. Fell, got up, practised, mastered, pushed through. Sounds like you? We should talk.

Robeauté raises $28M for neurosurgical microrobots for neurology, medicine's final frontier

Robeauté has created a self-propelled microrobot, just 1.8 millimeters long—approximately the size of a grain of rice—that can travel inside the human brain to assist neurosurgeons. The company is targeting tissue sample collection for biopsies as its first use case, but Robeauté hopes it has designed its robot to be a cargo-agnostic carrier that could eventually be used to deliver cancer drugs directly to otherwise inoperable and hard-to-treat brain tumors or implant electrodes deep inside the brain to provide treatments for Parkinson’s or other brain disorders.
