Paul LaViolette confirmed that he won't be part of future funds at SV Health Investors. This is a big deal for #MedTech. The guy is a legend, which makes his taking the CEO role of Pulse Biosciences so interesting.
I'll talk with Greg Madden at SV after JPM to hear more about the firm's future.

This is how you slay a negative perception. This is how you rebrand a franchise. This is how you deliver for your fan base.
