Medtech IPOs in 2025: Signs of a Market Rebound

 The environment for medtech IPOs has shifted noticeably in 2025. After a sluggish 2024, where only a handful of device makers found their way to public markets, the tide is beginning to turn. Eight months into the year, six companies in the U.S. device space have gone public. That’s a meaningful jump compared to last year and could mark the beginning of a more sustained reopening of the IPO pathway.

Before looking at the individual debuts, it’s worth stepping back to understand why the landscape for medtech IPOs feels different this year.

Why IPOs Matter for Medtech

For medtech companies at the right point on their growth curve, going public can be transformative. Beyond raising capital, an IPO can provide:

  • Funding at scale for launches, pivotal trials, and global expansion
  • Transparency and visibility through SEC filings and broader analyst coverage
  • Liquidity and optionality for future strategic moves, including acquisitions

Of course, accessing the public markets brings more scrutiny, but the fundamental mechanism hasn’t changed. What’s new is the backdrop: risk appetite in public markets is thawing, while private capital remains abundant.

Two forces are especially important:

  1. Public markets are warming up. The blockbuster debut of Figma last month captured headlines, with shares closing roughly 250% above the offer price on opening day. That kind of performance suggests pent-up investor demand is real, even if pricing strategies may need to adapt.
  2. Private capital is patient. Venture capital dry powder remains at record levels, allowing many companies to extend their private journeys. This has created a backlog of IPO-ready firms that can move when valuations align.

Cover Story: A Page from Ray Cohen’s Playbook: Scaling, Exiting, and Winning in Medtech

With four decades of company-building, IPOs, boardroom leadership, and monumental exits behind him, Raymond W. Cohen has become one of medtech’s most successful operators. But behind the financial wins — including the recent back-to-back $3.7 billion Axonics and $600 million SoniVie acquisitions by Boston Scientific — is a deeper story of Cohen’s contrarian, full-transparency, people-centered, no-BS approach to leadership and strategy. “People crave inspired, authentic, and transparent leadership that thinks big and acts boldly. They want to be enrolled in a vision of what is possible, and be recognized and compensated for creating measurable results, not be fed a bunch of platitudes.” A quote that is classic  Ray Cohen  — blunt, unapologetic, no-nonsense, and grounded in hard-won experience. With more than four decades in medtech, Cohen has done what many aspire to — build, lead, scale, and sell high-stakes, successful ventures with precision and zero fluff. Known for his no-...
