ImpactAlpha, June 1 — Amsterdam-based Incision launched in 2014 to help surgeons and other operating room staff share surgical experiences, skills and expertise. The digital platform offers more than 500 accredited courses supervised by experienced surgeons, as well as 3D tools to help surgeons prepare for operations and avoid complications.

It has raised €5 million ($6 million) from Rubio and medtech investor SHS to expand into the U.K., Scandinavia, the Middle East and Belgium, and “to connect 10,000 clinics with our platform,” said Incision’s Ritsaart van Montfrans.

Rebranding

Rubio initially launched in 2015 with the name Social Impact Ventures to coax new investors to co-invest in impact deals and to track their impact (see, “Willemijn Verloop, Social Impact Ventures).
