Munich, Germany and Montreal, Quebec, Canada, February 6, 2024 – TVM Capital Life Science (“TVM”), a leading international venture capital firm focused on investments in life sciences innovation, today announced a $16 million Series A financing for Vektor Medical, a pioneer in non-invasive, AI-based arrhythmia analysis technology. TVM is co-leading the round with Solas BioVentures. The proceeds will be used to support the commercialization of vMap®, Vektor’s AI-based arrhythmia analysis tool, which is transforming how electrophysiologists (EPs) approach ablation procedures. Dr. Luc Marengère, Managing Partner at TVM, will join the Vektor Medical Board of Directors, and Dr. Sascha Berger, General Partner at TVM, will serve as a Board Observer.

Vektor’s vMap is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive AI-based solution for arrhythmia localization and analysis, seamlessly leveraging only a 12-lead ECG. vMap provides information to better understand arrhythmia source(s) enabling physicians to streamline their procedures and more efficiently treat their patients.

Dr. Luc Marengère, Managing Partner at TVM Capital Life Science, said: “Changing the standard of care demands a unique and transformative approach. vMap has been embraced by EPs focused on excellence. With increased resources, Vektor will scale adoption across the US and Europe. Patients and healthcare providers deserve better and Vektor is ushering in that transition. We’re thrilled to invest and partner with Vektor to drive this important healthcare transformation.”

“The medical community is being confronted with the necessity for change. With an increasing atrial fibrillation (AF) patient population, outcomes must be improved while also enhancing procedure efficiency,” said Rob Krummen, CEO of Vektor Medical. “vMap presents a solution to this challenge. Leading EPs around the U.S. are utilizing vMap to streamline ablation procedures and improve patient outcomes. With the proceeds from this financing, we can expand access to this groundbreaking technology.”
