Congratulations to the following companies that have been selected to present in the 2026 Wilson Sonsini E&I Summit Shark Tank Pitch Track, co-hosted by SPARC Health!

Medical Devices & Diagnostics:

Bloom Surgical is revolutionizing laparoscopic surgery with LaparoVision, a novel origami-inspired “windshield wiper” for laparoscopes. Unlike current solutions, LaparoVision effectively wipes and irrigates the lens directly at the surgical site, ensuring continuous clarity without scope removal.

Freyya is a femtech medical device company transforming pelvic floor care for the 1 in 4 women living with pelvic floor disorders. The Freyya device is the first wearable, intra-vaginal biosensor that measures pelvic floor muscle force and intra-abdominal pressure during real-life activity, delivering real-time biofeedback to a mobile app and clinicians.

DigiBeat has simplified the operation of cardiac screening to the point that medical assistance, and even at-home patients, can operate it. Expanding access to real cardiac care from specialists and hospitals to family doctors and patient homes through AI and smart automations.

Medical Devices & Diagnostics — Series A:

At Path Fertility, we built SpermQT: the first clinically validated epigenetic sperm quality test. We measure sperm function, not just count and motility, giving physicians data that predicts success across fertility treatments.

Microvascular Therapeutics is developing a next-generation microbubble contrast agent, CardiSon, for diagnostic ultrasound, designed to set a new standard in image quality, ease of use, and safety. CardiSon is a platform for nanobubble therapies, combining imaging and therapy, with broad applications across oncology, cardiovascular disease, and neurology.

Purgo Scientific is developing a first-in-class refillable drug delivery device called the Purgo Pouch that sustains local, high-dose antibiotic therapy in surgical sites. It received Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA, addressing the major unmet need of fracture-related infection treatment.

Therapeutics / Pharmaceuticals:

Full IND preclinical readiness FDA package without sacrificing one animal.

Numiera Therapeutics is developing small-molecule drugs for oncology indications by targeting a key metabolic vulnerability in cancer cells. Our first-in-class CPT1 inhibitor has received FDA orphan drug designation, on the basis of independently-replicated preclinical efficacy data from five different labs.

Glafabra’s Live-cel(TM) gene therapy provides patients with a highly effective and redosable treatment, where one dose lasts for years, not weeks. Our lead asset in Fabry disease competes against a standard of care that is expensive, burdensome, and incomplete.

Digital Health / Biotech:

Intactis Bio offers biocomputation as a service to the AI/ML industry for low-energy computation, with true biological intelligence.

MyxTek Bio is a next‑generation biomaterials company commercializing Utah State University’s patented hagfish protein technology to create high‑performance protein membranes for advanced cell culture.
