A Baltimore startup that developed a surgical tool to recycle the blood of a patient suffering from internal bleeding landed a $100,000 investment Monday from AOL co-founder Steve Case, winning a “live pitch” competition among eight Baltimore companies.
Sisu Global Health, founded less than two years ago by three women, was singled out for the potential impact its Hemafuse surgical tool could have in emerging markets of sub-Saharan Africa, said Case, CEO of Washington-based investment firm Revolution LLC.
