Scrub Capital

Kevin Foley, M.D. is joining Scrub Capital as our first Venture Partner ? Medical devices are foundational to health care innovation, with clear paths to reimbursement and robust exit markets. That's why we're strengthening our investment strategy in this space - bringing on a partner who has shaped both device invention and investing. Kevin holds over 180 U.S. patents and has built multiple enduring and transformational companies, including Stealth Technologies (acquired by Sofamor Danek and later Medtronic) and Triad Life Sciences (acquired by ConvaTec), among several other nine-figure exits. He continues to practice medicine while advancing minimally invasive surgery, robotics, and biomechanics through invention and investment. At Scrub Capital, we invest across health IT, digital tech, and class I and II medical devices. Kevin's expertise in commercialization, regulatory navigation, and innovation scaling adds another layer to our superpower: our community of clinicians, operators, and builders.

We were sick of hearing that clinicians are bad business people. So we started a community and fund that is proving otherwise (investments in great companies like Photon Health can’t hurt). Our community members aren’t just health care professionals— they’re founders, builders, operators, investors, and clinical leaders. Our model is totally unique and is helping fill a gap in early-stage venture — we do pre-seed, seed, and Series A. Thanks to Modern Healthcare for telling our story. Want to be a part of it? ????
