Because Patients Deserve Better than Traditional Spine Fusion.

KIC Ventures is a physician-led private equity healthtech firm dedicated to replacing the "collateral damage" of traditional surgery with our LESS Exposure Spine Surgery (LESS™) philosophy. We invest in the invention and scaling of traditional minimally invasive techniques to less exposure motion-preserving technologies that prioritize direct visualization over the "blind" approach of traditional minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS). By enabling a critical transition from hospital-based inpatient fusion to cost-effective outpatient care, our platform restores function and preserves anatomy.

Why Leading Spine Surgeons Partner with KIC Ventures

With over 20 years of healthtech innovation, we partner directly with surgeons to modernize care delivery. Our patented LESS™ solutions are purpose-built for the ambulatory setting (ASC), supporting:

​

• Predictable Procedures: Technology aligned with surgeon workflow for maximum efficiency.

• Faster Recovery: Moving spine care into high-value environments where outcomes and patient experience improve together.

• Durable Results: Bridging the gap between interventional pain management and major spine surgery to create interventional spine surgery learning from interventional cardiology.

 

The REP Principles: Our Clinical Philosophy

Every investment in our portfolio is guided by three pillars designed to turn patients and surgeons into lifelong advocates:

​

• Restore Function: Regain mobility with biomechanically advanced technologies designed for long-term spinal performance.

• Early Treatment: Enable intervention before chronic degeneration takes hold, expanding eligibility for less invasive, outpatient solutions.

• Preserve Anatomy: Minimize tissue disruption to support faster recovery times, fewer complications, and a sustained quality of life.
