In this episode of Medsider Radio, we had an insightful conversation with Dave Rosa, President and CEO of NeuroOne, a company developing high-definition, minimally invasive neurology devices utilizing unique thin-film electrode technology.

Dave brings over three decades of experience in the medical device industry. His career spans several key roles at major firms like C.R. Bard, Boston Scientific, and St. Jude Medical, focusing on marketing, product development, strategy, and commercialization. Dave has several medical device patents to his name, has served on numerous corporate boards, and raised over $200 million in the capital markets. He holds an MBA from Duquesne University and a BS in Commerce and Engineering from Drexel University.

In this interview, Dave discusses critical strategies to secure initial capital even before early development and regulatory milestones are achieved, how to leverage networks to connect with potential investors; and the importance of assembling a supportive and experienced team, including board members.
