Australian disability tech accelerator Remarkable has invested in a US med tech startup, Aurie, in a $9.1 million Seed round. Aurie has developed a smart catheter system to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) for individuals with spinal cord injuries. The catheter system is reusable and no-touch, providing a solution for the 600,000 American users facing UTIs. Remarkable’s investment, made through its Scaler initiative, aims to foster global change in the disability tech space through technology.
Remarkable’s founder, Pete Horsley, expressed excitement about expanding their mission to create a world of opportunity for people with disabilities. The accelerator program is currently accepting applications for its next cohort, offering $100,000 in Seed funding, access to mentoring, and a global network for startups developing disability tech solutions. The program runs from June to October, providing support and opportunities for growth in the disability tech sector.
