PARIS, FRANCE and SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2023 / Moon Surgical, a French-American pioneer in collaborative robotics, announced today that it has secured $55.4 million in additional funding to support the continued development and planned commercialization of its Maestro System.
To view this piece of content from www.accesswire.com, please give your consent at the top of this page.This most recent financing was co-led by Sofinnova Partners, through its Sofinnova Capital Strategy, and NVIDIA's venture capital arm, NVentures, with participation from Fred Moll, MD, and Josh Makower, MD. Also joining the round were existing investors GT Healthcare Capital, Cathay Health, Johnson & Johnson Innovation - JJDC, and Sofinnova Partners' MD Start, as well as Yann Fleureau, Siddarth Satish, Sacha Loiseau, and Richard Leparmentier.
Moon Surgical is creating an entirely new category of Robotic Surgery with its Maestro System, one that not only changes the scale at which robotics are used but also improves the bottom line for providers and the quality of care for patients.
"Not even a year after the last one, this new financing is extremely exciting for us, as it will enable us to focus on the upcoming commercial launch of our Maestro System," stated Anne Osdoit, CEO of Moon Surgical and a Partner in Sofinnova Partners' MedTech accelerator, MD Start. "The support of Sofinnova Partners, NVIDIA, Fred Moll, Josh Makower, and our existing investor base is further validation of the mission of Moon Surgical and the achievements of our team."
With the funding, Moon Surgical also announced the appointment of Fred Moll, MD, as an independent Chair of the Board. Gérard Hascoët will remain a Board Director.
"Surgery by its nature involves more than two hands. With Maestro, the surgeon can fully control the tasks that would otherwise be done by an assistant but in a much more fluid and more convenient way," said Fred Moll, MD. "It's a capability that has not been developed before in Robotic Surgery and delivers value in any operating room where laparoscopy is performed."
As part of the financing, Antoine Papiernik, Chairman of Sofinnova Partners, will be joining Moon Surgical's Board of Directors, while Mohamed (Sid) Siddeek, Corporate Vice President and Head of NVentures (NVIDIA), and Steve Oesterle, MD, Venture Partner of Cathay Health, will join as Board Observers.
"Sofinnova Partners has always supported ambitious, world-leading, category-creating companies which deliver on the promise of their unique technology. Moon Surgical is a prime example," commented Antoine Papiernik, Chairman, and Managing Partner of Sofinnova Partners. "We believe in this team's capacity to bring Maestro to the market and revolutionize the surgical robotics landscape by combining their experience and insights in the needs of the surgeon, patient, and provider."
"The application of robotics in surgery will continue to revolutionize healthcare," said Mohamed "Sid" Siddeek, Corporate Vice President and Head of NVentures, NVIDIA. "We are confident in Moon Surgical's capabilities to deliver a unique and innovative solution to the market."
The financing round comes on the heels of the company's other notable accomplishments, which include Maestro's CE Mark this past April, and 510(k) clearance in December of 2022.
Moon Surgical raised $31 million in Series A funding in June 2022.

Graid Technology Launches Agentic AI Storage Portfolio to Eliminate KV Cache Bottlenecks21.4.2026 17:00:00 CEST | Press release
From edge inference to NVIDIA STX, purpose-built KV cache infrastructure for consistent performance at scale. SUNNYVALE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 21, 2026 / Graid Technology, the pioneer in GPU-accelerated NVMe storage, today announced its Agentic AI Storage Portfolio: a purpose-built family of KV cache solutions designed to eliminate the storage bottleneck that stalls "always-on" production AI. The portfolio spans three deployment tiers: KV Cache Server, KV Cache Rack, and KV Cache Platform, all built on SupremeRAID™ technology. KV Cache Platform, the portfolio's highest tier, is purpose-aligned to NVIDIA's STX reference architecture, with native BlueField-4 DPU execution on the roadmap for H2 2026. As agentic AI moves from experimentation to production, the infrastructure assumptions that underpinned single-shot inference have broken down. Models running continuous multi-step tasks and maintaining context across hours of operation generate KV cache demands that overwhelm GPU HBM.

Only 19% of employees recognize redeployment programs that 77% of HR leaders say exist, revealing a critical visibility gap that prevents organizations from retaining future-critical talent and fulfilling their duty of care to departing employees.
