What motivated your investment in SamanTree Medical?

We were particularly attracted by the transformative potential of SamanTree. The Histolog scanner solves a critical pain point in surgical oncology – the need for real-time, precise margin assessment. Traditional pathology methods take hours or even days, but with the Histolog scanner, surgeons get instant feedback, leading to fewer re-operations, more confident decisions, and better patient care. The technology is already proving its value in clinical settings, and we see it setting a new gold standard for intraoperative precision.
