Founded by some of the most respected business builders and thought leaders in medtech, Sonder Capital is extending a decades-long track record of shaping modern medicine. Through Sonder Futures II, the firm is backing AI-enabled medical robotics and novel, minimally invasive platforms tackling some of the largest markets in healthcare. These intelligent systems are designed to expand access, improve outcomes, redefine what patients can expect from care, and help set a higher standard for how innovation reaches the bedside.
There are moments in medtech when progress feels incremental. Then there are moments when a new standard quietly begins to take shape.
Sonder Capital was built for the latter.
Around the table for our Lens interview sit Fred Moll, MD, Co-Chair, Co-Founder, and Partner at Sonder Capital, co-founder of Intuitive Surgical, and one of the architects of modern surgical robotics; Jay Watkins, MBA, Co-Chair, Co-Founder, and Partner, and a veteran dealmaker who has guided companies across multiple innovation cycles; Todd Brinton, MD, Venture Partner and a physician-operator who has helped scale cardiovascular platforms from concept to clinical adoption; Kate Garrett, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, a serial medical device entrepreneur whose disciplined leadership anchors the firm’s long-term strategy; and Deborah Kilpatrick, PhD, Partner, engineer, and enterprise builder known for translating complex technologies into durable companies.
Each has shaped medtech individually. Together, they represent something rarer: a shared operating history that informs how capital is deployed and how companies are built, with a commitment to creating better options for patients that endure.
