Surgical training startup FundamentalVR inks deal with Mayo Clinic, raises additional $1.4M

This morning FundamentalVR, maker of a virtual reality surgical training platform, landed $1.4 million in new funding from investment company Tern Plc. This latest investment brings the company’s total funding to $2.6 million. It also furthers return investor Tern Plc stake in the company, bringing its investments to 34.5 percent of the startup’s holdings. This announcement comes on the heels of a new three-year deal the London-based startup inked with Mayo Clinic to develop new simulations and validate its technology. The pair plan on zeroing in on general surgery before moving on to new areas such as patient-specific simulations from digital imaging resources, according to a statement. The new partnership will give FundamentalVR access to experts in the field and 3D modeling resources.
