Engage Virtual Protection is a company that specializes in providing virtual protection services, which likely includes cybersecurity solutions, risk management, and digital threat mitigation for businesses and individuals.

Engage Virtual Protection

We are a team of investors and entrepreneurs who are passionate about medtech innovation.

We’re not a traditional VC fund. When we back a portfolio company, we amplify our own capital by inviting our Investor Network to co-invest alongside us in a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).

As an Engage Investor Network member, you get access to our proprietary early-stage deal flow, supported by our expert research and due diligence. You have the flexibility to choose which companies to support — with low investment minimums, no subscription fees, and no annual commitments.

To learn how you can join us in powering medtech innovation, please email: investors@engagevp.com.

Excited to report that our portfolio company Pleural Dynamics, Inc. just received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for their flagship Automatic Continuous Effusion Shunt (ACES) product. This is a major commercialization milestone that sets the stage for US clinical use. 

Congratulations, Martin Mayse, John Streeter and team!

Thanks to Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal (MSPBJ) and Minne Inno for recognizing Engage as a 2023 Blazer Award winner!

Announcing our latest portfolio company!

Laplace Interventional is developing a novel prosthetic valve for treating tricuspid regurgitation (TR), a structural heart disease that impacts quality of life and long-term survival for 4.6 million people in the US and Europe. We believe Laplace’s product has the potential to pioneer a vastly simpler, superior standard of care for treating TR, thereby addressing an enormous unmet clinical and market need.

"Engage participated in our recent Series B financing and I truly consider them to be value-added investors that bring in smart money. Engage's due diligence on complex issues was very thorough. They moved quickly on an aggressive timetable to bring important funding that will enable us to accelerate the development of our novel tricuspid heart valve." - Ramji Iyer, Founder & CEO

Happy birthday to Engage! We had a busy first year powering medtech innovation. Amid a challenging early-stage funding environment, our investors backed six game-changing companies, providing $5.5 million in critical growth capital. We are thrilled to see rapid growth in our Investor Network — individuals, family offices, and other institutional investors. We’re just getting started — we look forward to many more years of supporting this important innovation ecosystem together.
