Chris Dewey and Mark Goldwasser worked together to set up Robotic Ventures in 2000- 2001. Two of the material investments were iRobot and Z-KAT Inc. iRobot had an initial public offering in 2005. While involved with Z-KAT, Chris Dewey recruited Maurice Ferre. Together they built MAKO SURGICAL which went public in February 2008 and was then sold to STRYKER for $1.65 billion in 2014. Chris personally has invested alongside Maurice Ferre, Fred Moll, and David Matlin. This led to the formation of DGB (Chris Dewey, Mark Goldwasser, and Dave Brown) who, in 2019, purchased Ceros Financial Services. In 2022, Roger Monteforte joined Ceros as a Partner and Vice-Chairman and the Forte Capital Group became a division and launched Innovation X Advisors, LLC, an RIA that advises the privately held Innovation X Funds.
* Early stage investing in these types of companies can carry significant risk of total loss of principal, and not all investments made by these investors historically have been successful. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
I'm very pleased to report that 2025 was another landmark year for Ceros Financial Services and its affiliates, with combined consolidated revenue exceeding $100 million.
Since DGB's acquisition of Ceros Financial in June 2019, revenues have grown from $6.5 million to $103 million (+17x), representing a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 60%.
Equally important has been the significant growth in our assets under management and administration, which increased from $3.8 billion in 2019 to more than $11 billion today (+4x) — a compounded annual growth rate exceeding 25%.
This momentum has been driven by two key developments. First, the addition of the Norwalk, Connecticut office in early 2022 significantly expanded our capabilities and reach. This was followed by the merger with Roger Monteforte, the Forte Capital Group, and the Innovation X Advisors business in mid-2022. InnovationX Advisors positioned us within the highly dynamic and compelling unicorn ecosystem, where we continue to pursue opportunities on behalf of our clients.
Thanks to Roger's leadership and vision in building out our private markets capabilities, the foundation we have built positions us well for what lies ahead. With Ceros and affiliates' approximately $40 million in revenue during the first quarter of 2026, we are encouraged by the firm's momentum and look forward to another strong year.

Cordio has developed a monitoring solution for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients using only a patient's speech, sampled via a mobile device. The system, Cordio HearO®, can sense fluid accumulation and allow health care professionals to manage their CHF patients remotely. Cordio HearO™ is easy to use, non-invasive CHF monitoring device with great patient compliance.
Cordio's product is patient-dependent (i.e., each patient serves as his or her own baseline) and language independent. It is comprised of a recording application operating on a patient device such as mobile devices, computer, Alexa device, (etc.), with an analysis software operating on the cloud. During monitoring, samples of the patient's speech are analyzed and compared to the model, measuring the differences which are characterized as the target disorder.

DermaSensor, Inc. has commercialized the first FDA cleared, automated device that provides an objective skin cancer risk result to American’s one million physicians who are not already experts in assessing patients for skin cancer (e.g. family doctors, internal medicine doctors, gynecologists). The DermaSensor™ device enables these physicians to non-invasively and effectively test lesions for all common types of skin cancer, specifically melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. The patented spectroscopy technology utilized in their handheld device has a published sensitivity of 95.5% from their FDA pivotal study with over 1,000 patients and uses a simple 0-10 malignancy risk level scale to improve physicians’ management of suspicious lesions. Literature shows that primary care physicians' sensitivity for correctly referring cancerous moles is as low as 54%.

Transforming surgery with its proprietary surgical robotic technology. Momentis has set out to surpass today’s best solutions through: better clinical outcomes, reduced footprint, versatility, and cost.
They are the first robotic solution to receive FDA authorization for transvaginal gynecological procedures.
The Anovo™ Surgical System features unique robotic instrument ARMS that mimic the movement of the surgeon’s shoulder, elbow and wrist, offering high dexterity, multi-planar flexibility and unprecedented articulation. The ability to articulate the ARMS enables the transvaginal approach to benign gynecologic procedures and surgeons are able to use the familiar fundus to cervix technique without the need for multiple abdominal incisions. Anovo requires a much smaller footprint and costs significantly less than conventional robotic systems, making it possible for more hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers to acquire the system.

Accuryn addresses a critical unmet need with respect to kidney functioning monitoring by offering a comprehensive solution that significantly enhances patient care and hospital efficiency. The Accuryn Monitoring System has the ability to detect and enable earlier intervention in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) as much as 33 hours ahead of the current standard of care that relies on a Serum Creatinine (SCr) blood test, based on KDIGO. This early detection capability may improve patient outcomes, reduce the costs incurred by hospitals, with the potential of becoming a critical tool in the management of AKI.
