Corwave: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

CorWave is a medical device company developing innovative heart pumps (Left Ventricular Assist Devices, LVADs). Our mission is to lower the burden associated with LVADs by curbing pump-related adverse events and reducing the invasiveness of the surgery. We are leveraging a unique and patented pumping technology that overcomes the drawbacks of rotary pump systems. Inspired by nature, CorWave technology can mimic the native heart blood flow pattern (low shear and pulsatile), reduces energy-requirements and gives opportunities to downsize LVADs further. CorWave was founded in 2012 by MD Start and received funding from top-tier investors including Ysios, Sofinnova, Seventure, Medtronic, Novo and Bpifrance.

About FundedIQ's Corwave Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Corwave is left off this page rather than filled in.
