Convexity Scientific Closes Equity Investment

The company will use the funding to accelerate go-to-market activities with a significant expansion in sales hires and marketing efforts. Convexity’s business strategy leverages its unique ability to develop health care products with innovative design and superior ease of use. The company’s first product, a nebulizer for the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other respiratory illnesses, is notable for its extremely small size, light weight and simplicity of use.

“We believe Convexity's nebulizer is a game-changer,” said Benslie Partner Henry Weinstein. “It sets a new standard in both the domestic and international markets, and its distribution is highly scalable.”

“Convexity’s core focus on design and accessibility of function for all ages is disrupting the market of solutions for respiratory illnesses and contributing to a better quality of life for those who suffer from them,” said Jared Talisman of Stonehenge Growth Capital. “Stonehenge is proud to partner with this Connecticut-based company to accelerate their leadership in the market and to allow them to make key additions to the team.”

“We are very excited about the future of Convexity Scientific and are delighted to partner with our new investors,” said Ralph Finger, M.D., Convexity’s Chairman.
