Star51 Capital is a New York-based Medtech venture investment platform founded by Adam Rosenwach and Tal Wenderow. The firm is structured as an ecosystem fund, combining strategic capital, operator networks, and a proprietary AI platform (StarVision™), to bridge the gap between Medtech innovation and acquisition. The fund invests at the convergence of Medtech and AI, with anchor support from Abbott and Mayo Clinic providing clinical validation, commercialization pathways, and domain expertise beyond capital.
Star51 invests in early and growth-stage Medtech and AI companies across interventional therapies, diagnostics, patient monitoring, personalization of healthcare delivery, and the digitalization of healthcare.
The fund sources opportunities from the US, Europe, and Israel, focusing on companies at critical inflection milestones from clinical validation through regulatory clearance and commercial scale.
Star51 Capital Fund I announced its first close in June 2026.
Fund size is not publicly disclosed.
The first close was led by Abbott and Mayo Clinic, with participation from senior Medtech executives, physicians, life science professionals, and significant commitment from the fund's general and operating partners, all of whom invested their own capital as LPs, directly aligning financial interests with portfolio outcomes.
