Introducing the Boost Venture Fund
An early-stage venture fund at the Convergence of Health Tech Innovation, Physician Immagination, KOL Leadership, and Capital
BOOST VENTURE FUND
We don’t just host conferences. We invest in innovation.
Octane’s newest fund is here—and it’s different. Boost funds execution, not experimentation. We invest in early-stage healthtech companies through expert-built commercialization roadmaps, not blank checks.
Sector Focus: Ophthalmology, Cardiology, Neuro, and Aesthetics
We run the events where the strategics show up, the KOLs speak, and the startups get noticed. We invest in these sectors because we’ve lived in them for years. Not as tourists but as infrastructure. Octane’s unique network strength allows Boost to fast-track companies through spaces we already know by heart. Most funds have to seek access to these networks. For us, it’s a home-court advantage.
How it Works
Fund Size: $2M Micro-VC
Check Size: $200K average
Current Raise: $1M in progress
Minimum Investment: $25K
Target Ownership: 2.5%–5% (non-dilutive until Series A)
Exit Strategy: M&A post-inflection
Why Now?
Investments aren’t just guided by founders’ intuition—they’re vetted with strategics upfront.
Every Boost deal is reviewed with key acquirers before the check clears. We don’t just hope for exits. We build toward them.
Why Boost?
- If your last investment felt like tuition, it probably was.
Most funds invest in hope. We invest in traction. Boost de-risks early-stage capital by replacing trial-and-error with engineered roadmaps.
- We have capital to deploy—and a smarter model for deploying it.
Every startup receives 13 pre-built execution deliverables—IP, clinical, regulatory, GTM—crafted by elite medtech experts and backed by Octane’s infrastructure.
- $250K in, up to $500K out.
Our partner discounts and proven systems multiply every dollar.
