What Angels Can Do for Your Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Angels can bring more value than just funding to your startup. Here’s a list of what angels can do: They bring a network for hiring key people on the team. Their network can also help find customers, partners, and others. They bring experience and can help make key decisions along the way. They help with fundraising, product development and launch, and financial decisions. For those with a high profile in the community, they bring notoriety to your startup. This helps in finding more investors and partners. They bring domain expertise if they come from the industry the startup targets. They provide coaching to help formulate strategy. They provide mentorship to startup founders. They provide additional support in the form of CFO and COO work. They bring a rich history of success and failure stories about other startups. They provide access to new networks and communities. Consider these points when recruiting angel investors for your fundraise.

In this episode of Investor Connect, host Hall T. Martin speaks with Barry Fella of Cranial Devices about their innovative approach to treating hydrocephalus. Barry sheds light on the significant challenges associated with the current treatment method, such as high failure rates, infections, and the need for multiple revisions throughout a patient's lifetime. Cranial Devices is developing a physiologic shunt that offers a safer, more reliable alternative by draining excess cerebrospinal fluid directly into the venous system, significantly reducing the likelihood of failures and complications. The new shunting method presents a promising advancement in medical technology, with numerous benefits for patients, surgeons, and healthcare payers alike. Barry elaborates on the device's FDA classification, ongoing animal pilot studies, and plans for human trials in South America or Australia. He also discusses the future market opportunities, particularly for older patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus, and how Cranial Devices aims to capture a considerable share of the revision market. Tune in to discover how this groundbreaking technology could transform the landscape of hydrocephalus treatment.
