Meticuly — "Personalised medical implant solution for better lives", We aim to deliver solutions that improve lives. Our implants are individually crafted to fit each unique patient. Founded in February 2017, Meticuly is a 3D printing medical technology company focusing on personalised implant solutions for bone-related surgeryapplications. Instead of off-the-shelf standard-sized implants to treat patients with bone deformity, Meticuly provides state-of-the-art pre-operative planning, surgical guides, and implants that are tailored to fit individual patients. The implant solution is built on two proprietary technology platforms: AI-assisted design using a cloud-based platform for patient-specific biomechanic, and the manufacturing of surgical guides and implants are based on 3D printing technology in GMP certified cleanroom. After uploading a CT Scan of a patient to our AI cloud server, medical professionals are then provided with surgical assistance through collaborative software to preview the design. Information such as 3D planning, surgical approach, and implant design customization is provided and adjusted in real-time. 3D-printed implant and surgical guides are then manufactured and delivered to the hospital. Information and post-op results are compared with pre-op planning to constantly improve predictive design algorithms. With growing clinical information and cadaveric big data, the post-op clinical outcome of each patient has achieved both functionality and aesthetics. Patients also benefit from less blood loss, less chance of infection, and reduced surgical theater time.

Expara IDM Ventures (EIDMV) is a leading provider of incubation and mentorship to early-stage interactive and digital media (IDM) companies in Singapore. EIDMV was one of the first private companies to be appointed as an incubator in the Interactive Digital Media Office (IDMPO)’s iJAM Microfunding Scheme supported by the National ResearchFoundation (NRF) in October 2007. Since then, we’ve invested S$5,000 on top of the S$50,000 disbursement from IDMPO into 16 start-ups. EIDMV’s iJAM I program has been highly successful, exceeding each of its KPIs and generating several of Singapore’s most exciting early-stage IDM companies. The team has a proven track record of successful follow-on fundraising for our incubatees; three companies have raised more than S$1MM in follow-on funding. EIDMV was again reappointed as an incubator in IDMPO’s new iJAM Mircofunding Scheme in April 2012, also known as iJAM Reload. EIDMV II was established late 2012 for the purpose of investment and incubation of future portfolio start-ups. The new scheme allows EIDMV II to match IDMPO’s funding of S$50,000 with an additional S$5,000 in Tier 1(similar to the initial program), followed by S$100,000 to S$100,000 match of IDMPO’s funding in Tier 2. The new management team which includes Douglas Abrams adds to the incubation experience and network which will strongly benefit these portfolio companies. EIDMV has close ties with two entities: Expara Pte Ltd, a venture creation company that develops and teaches entrepreneurship and innovation experiential-exercise-based learning programs for entrepreneurs, start-ups, companies and public institutions in Asia; and Extream Ventures Pte Ltd, an early-stage venture fund supported by NRF under the Early Stage Venture Funding Scheme. Douglas has helped raise S$20 million for Extream Ventures, in which he is one of four GPs.
