WINGS was formed at a CEO dinner in May 2009 to address what was identified as the #1 need in the Medical Technology Industry Cluster – local, smart, seed funding.  Angel Investors get the best returns when they invest in their areas of expertise.  WINGS is focused on closing the gap by bringing the wealth of Washington’s medical technology experts to the arena of angel investing. 

WINGS meetings are held 4 times a year, during which 3 to 4 business opportunities are presented.  Any opportunity presented receives rigorous screening by a Committee composed of local Medical Technology experts.  The Screening Committee will only consider opportunities in the areas of Therapeutic and Diagnostic Devices, Healthcare IT, Healthcare Delivery Models, and unregulated biotechnology development tools.

The WINGS Board of Directors is Kirby Cramer (Co-chairman), Wayne Wager (Co-chairman), Tom Clement, Robert deGavre, Rob Derry, Joseph Gifford, Brad Harlow, Michael Hovanes, Tom Kadavy (Screening Committee Chair), Stefan Kraemer (Chairman Emeritus), Stephen Kutz, Ryan Landon, Loretta Little, Tim Mickelson, H. Stewart Parker, Chris Rivera, Dick Rohde, Marcus Smith and Conrad Smits.

The WINGS Screening Committee is Bob Tassone, Chris Porter, Conrad Smits, Dale Nash, David Croniser, John Bowers, Joseph M Gifford, Kuo Tong, Mark Kraus, Martha Feldman, Matt Gani, Nikolaos Pagoulatos, Noel Doheny, Paul T. Parker, Perry Fell, Ram Bedi, Richard Martin, Robert Barry, Stephanie Amoss, Susan Engel Morgensztern, Tom Clement, Tom Kadavy (Screening Committee Chair) and Trevor Moody.

WINGS – The Washington Medical Technology Angel Network (WINGS) provides a forum for the matching of entrepreneurs of early stage medical technology companies with investors who are committed to funding high-risk opportunities. WINGS does not evaluate or endorse any of these investment opportunities and makes no recommendations regarding the appropriateness of particular investment opportunities for any investor. WINGS makes no independent investigations to verify the factual information submitted to potential investors and WINGS makes no representations or warranties with respect to the information provided by applicant entrepreneurs. As a result, potential investors must conduct their own investigation of the merits and risks of each investment opportunity, and negotiate the terms of their investment on their own. All investors are strongly encouraged to seek legal and other professional counsel prior to making such investments.
