What They Do
EndoSound offers a device that converts standard endoscopes into endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) systems—bringing advanced diagnostics to clinics at a fraction of the cost of traditional equipment.
Why It Might Be the Next Big Thing
EUS is essential for diagnosing GI cancers and other conditions but is typically restricted to expensive hospital setups. EndoSound’s retrofit model could make this powerful diagnostic tool accessible to smaller and mid-sized practices around the world.

My Take
EndoSound represents one of the most practical innovations in medtech: extending the life and functionality of equipment already in use. Clinician-led investors suggest strong sector validation.
