Here’s a look back at our major milestones:
FUNDING MILESTONE
We opened our Series A funding round, led by Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. This funding provides us with the critical resources to enhance our innovative solutions and expand our presence in the healthcare market.
TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION
Our technology achieved a major milestone with the publication of our US patent. This accomplishment reinforces our position as a leader in healthcare innovation, safeguarding the unique aspects of our solution and paving the way for scaling its impact.
LEADERSHIP EXPANSION
We proudly welcomed Pete Schommer to our Board of Directors. Pete brings over 25 years of experience in the medical device industry, including senior leadership roles at Kendall Healthcare, Covidien, and Medtronic.

GRANT AWARD
Relavo was awarded a $500,000 NSF SBIR Phase IIB grant, a pivotal achievement in our journey. This funding advances the development of our PeritoneX System, a novel connection device designed to reduce infection risks in peritoneal dialysis by internally disinfecting dialysis tubes with antimicrobial solutions.
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Our CEO, Sarah Lee, delivered the keynote address at the American Kidney Fund (AKF) Patient Access Initiative Summit. Sarah’s leadership at this impactful event highlighted Relavo’s commitment to addressing healthcare access challenges and improving early diagnosis and intervention for kidney disease patients.
As we look ahead, we remain steadfast in our mission to revolutionize healthcare and improve patient outcomes for those with PD. Thank you to our partners, stakeholders, and team for making this year a success.
