Speaker: Ed Koeneman, Kinetic Muscles Inc. (www.kineticmuscles.com)

Topic: The startup story.

KMI designs and manufactures rehabilitation devices for survivors of stroke and other brain injuries. Ed and his father started the company in 2001 to address the needs of a grossly under-served stroke population with a practical application of the emerging science of neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to re-wire itself after an injury. All of the early R&D was funded by the National Institutes of Health. Along the way they have attracted investment from friends, family and angel investors. After successfully test marketing their first product in Arizona, KMI launched the Hand Mentor Pro nationwide in 2007. Come hear Ed talk about the ups and downs of being a startup medical device company in Arizona.
