We don’t ask you to build a startup.
We ask you to share your vision.
If you’re an inventor, a university researcher, a tech transfer officer, or part of a sponsored research office with a promising medtech idea—especially in neurostimulation or bioelectronic medicine—huMannity may be the right partner to carry it forward.
We’re a nonprofit medtech developer that builds transformative products from the ground up —
and we do it all under one roof.
We're seeking early-stage concepts that interact with the human nervous system and have the potential to improve outcomes in areas of significant medical need. We're especially interested in technologies related to:
Neuromodulation and neural interfaces
Bioelectronic medicine
Implantable or wearable stimulation devices
Novel sensing or diagnostic systems targeting neural pathways
If you're working on an early-stage concept that pushes boundaries, especially one that may be too risky or too early for traditional funders, we want to hear from you.
We don’t just provide support—we build your innovation in-house. Our team of 75+ engineers, scientists, and regulatory experts advances selected projects from concept to clinical readiness.
You won’t be asked to quit your research job or lead a startup. We’ll take the lead on development so you can stay focused on your science.
We don’t rely on slow, risk-averse funding cycles. Our philanthropic model allows us to invest in bold ideas that others might pass over.
We innovate across the whole R&D pipeline, from invention to deployment, manufacturing and scaling, through the countless iterations, prototypes, and regulatory steps that turn original ideas into genuinely useful products that fill a vital need within the continuum of care.
Our model is ideal for researchers who want to see their ideas become real without becoming medtech entrepreneurs.
We work closely with Biomedical Programs, Sponsored Research, and Tech Transfer Offices across leading U.S. institutions. Our collaboration models are flexible, whether you’re exploring:
Neuromodulation and neural interfaces
License & development pathways
Joint funding applications (e.g., NIH, DARPA, BARDA)
Or simply want to understand how we evaluate opportunities
