Frequently asked questions
Does WFD Ventures co-invest alongside strategic corporate investors?
Yes. WFD Ventures frequently participates in syndicates that include large medical device strategics such as Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation. Its domain-expert posture makes it a credible partner for corporate venture arms seeking clinical-stage validation before committing their own balance sheets.

WFD Ventures was an early backer of TransMedics, the organ preservation and transport platform, investing at the Series A stage. TransMedics went public in 2019 and reported its first full year of GAAP profitability in March 2024, marking a significant return milestone for the firm's medtech-focused strategy.
