Increasing venture capital investment in spinal surgery: an analysis of investments from 2000 to 2023.
Background context: Venture capital (VC) plays a vital role in advancing spinal surgery technologies, driven by the growing burden of spinal disorders and high healthcare costs. Despite increasing interest, trends in VC funding for spinal surgery remain understudied.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine temporal and thematic trends in VC investments in spinal surgery companies from 2000 to 2023.
Study design/setting: A retrospective cross-sectional study analyzing VC investment trends in privately held US-based spinal surgery companies.
Methods: Using the PitchBook database, we analyzed 1001 VC investments in 227 spinal surgery companies between 2000 and 2023. Investments were categorized into surgical devices, noninvasive devices, biotechnology, surgical software, and clinical services. Total and annual investments were quantified in USD.
Results: From 2000 to 2023, $5.37 billion was invested in spine surgery, with nonsurgical devices receiving the largest share (42.6%), followed by surgical devices (26.3%) and biotechnology (22.2%). Annual investment increased by 1782%, with a decline in 2023 likely due to macroeconomic factors.
Conclusions: VC funding in spinal surgery has grown significantly, especially in noninvasive technologies. Further research is needed to assess the long-term impact of these investments and explore alternative financing models.
