    Next week, Synova Partners will attend PCR London Valves, one of the key events on the structural heart calendar. It’s always a highlight of the year to connect with innovators and founders who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in #TAVR, #TMVR, #tricuspid, and other #structuralheart interventions. At Synova Partners, we’re proud to work closely with the companies driving these advances, from early-stage start-ups bringing first-in-human data to the table to commercial-stage companies expanding globally. If you’re attending and would like to connect, whether to discuss your company’s growth plans, share ideas from the conference, or just grab a coffee, feel free to reach out. #MedTech #StructuralHeart #Cardiovascular #TAVR #TMVR #Tricuspid #SynovaPartners #PCRLondonValves #medicaldevices #medtech #pcrlv

    Thank you, LSI Europe for another fantastic week of insightful discussions with #Investors, #Strategics and #Innovators. Events like this, where innovators come together to share how their technologies can improve the lives of patients around the world, are a powerful reminder of why I’m proud to be part of such a meaningful and inspiring industry. Synova Partners launched only 8 weeks ago, and while we’re a new firm, we bring over 20 years of experience in this space. This was our first event as a newly formed search firm dedicated to partnering with early stage start-ups to help them scale globally when the time comes. A big thank you to everyone we met, it was a pleasure, and we look forward to seeing you again soon! #LSIeurope #medtech #innovation #globalsearch #startups #raisingcapital #synovapartners 🚀 🚀 🚀
