Our take

Strokes pose a real and present threat to millions of people around the world, but many needs in stroke care are still not being met. Imperative Care is setting out to change this by developing innovative solutions for preventing and treating strokes.

Imperative Care was founded by an expert neuroendovascular surgeon and a serial entrepreneur, and its forward-facing technology and ambitious growth are testament to this partnership. Imperative has maintained a strong focus on physician-led care, developing its technology in close collaboration with working doctors. This has helped the company to identify and address key pain points in the existing stroke care system.

Imperative Care has scaled relatively quickly since it first launched, and this is a result of its rapid innovation cycle and its considerable funding success. Investment awarded to Imperative in 2024 will fuel its growth and product development in the coming years.
