EndoSound Inc., a privately held medical device company developing an endoscopic ultrasound platform to diagnose and treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, today announced the initial closing of its Series A round financing.

The round is being led by GEO Medtech Venture Fund, a leading healthcare venture capital firm that invests in transformative medical technology, and health solutions companies seeking to improve clinical outcomes, enhance quality of life, and drive efficiency of healthcare delivery.

The financing will support EndoSound’s ongoing research and development and preparations for commercial launch.

The EndoSound Vision System (EVS) is designed to eliminate the financial burden of expanding access to care for patients who require an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedure.  By attaching the EVS Transducer to a standard upper endoscope found in all hospitals and GI surgery centers, this critical technology becomes available and affordable in more areas of care.

Steve Steinberg, President and CEO of EndoSound commented: “Our ability to complete a financing round with experienced, highly respected investors and our existing shareholders is a testament to our team, our strategy, and the overall market opportunity ahead of us. It brings us closer to our goal of expanding patient and physician access to EUS in the US and around the world.”
