Excited to share that our portfolio company NeuroBionics just closed $5M from @FutureJurvetson and Dolby Family Ventures! @focalpointlp couldn't be more excited about NeuroBionics' technology and its potential to transform deep brain stimulation. Congrats @Mj_Antonini, @nicki_driscoll and the NeuroBionics team! techcrunch.com/2025/01/16/th…
