Medical tech dispute illuminates power struggle between entrepreneurs, investors
A dispute has arisen between shareholders of Israeli medical device startup MobileODT and lead investor OrbiMed. The dispute centers around OrbiMeds alleged attempt to pull out of a signed investment agreement with MobileODT and the claim that OrbiMeds representatives on the board acted in the interests of the VC fund rather than the company. The disagreement has led to threats of litigation. MobileODT, founded in 2012, has developed a smartphone-based system for detecting cervical cancer. The company has achieved regulatory approval, raised $22 million in funding, and sold its products for $2.4 million. OrbiMed first invested in MobileODT in 2017 and later entered into a share purchase agreement to invest $9 million. The dispute has resulted in the shutdown of company activities and unpaid leave for employees.
