1unicorns
117have raised

The 367 Hospital Equipment companies tracked here are ranked across the United States by disclosed equity funding and recent funding momentum, with $1.8B in total disclosed capital across the directory. One unicorn sits in the mix. And the revenue picture from validated filers is striking: a combined pool of roughly $8.9B, anchored by Stryker Corp at $6.0B (up 3% YoY), Hospira at $1.1B (up 12%), and Cantel Medical at $905M (up 15%). Median revenue growth runs at 12% YoY across six filers, which tells you this sector isn't coasting. The global hospital equipment market sits near $4.8B, with IoT integration and AIoT connectivity pulling demand forward through 2027.

So what's moving at the company level? Funding is concentrated but not monolithic. 410 Medical leads the directory at $37M raised, with Innovative Trauma Care at $13M and Eden Park Illuminations at $10M behind it. Most active backers include HHS, the National Science Foundation, and MassChallenge, a mix I'd describe as mission-weighted rather than pure return-chasing. App-layer momentum adds context: median install growth is running at roughly +23% YoY across hospital and healthcare app categories, signaling that digital adjacency to physical equipment is accelerating. If you're mapping this sector for investment or partnership, the funding gaps between top and median companies are wide enough to matter.
