Our Story
From Harvard Resident to Global Leader
In 2000, orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Kingsley R. Chin filed his first patent while at Harvard. Five years later he sold the MANTIS™ percutaneous screw system to Stryker — validating his vision of building a private equity platform that anticipates trends in spine surgery.
Today, KIC Ventures owns the most revenue-generating spine portfolio in private equity, with acquisitions like AxioMed (viscoelastic disc) and NanoFuse Biologics (FDA-cleared synthetic bone graft).
We’re now raising our Series A to triple valuation to ~$1B and invite physicians to co-invest and co-create the future of outpatient spine care.

Many alumni now lead in spine surgery and healthtech — proof of our commitment to “give back while giving forward.
