About Louis Cannon

Louis Cannon, MD, is the Founder and Senior Managing Director of BioStar Capital, a venture firm he established in 2005 after serving as an interventional cardiologist and president of the Cardiac & Vascular Research Center of Northern Michigan. His investment thesis targets early- and late-stage companies in the United States that develop transformative medical technologies, with a specific focus on the cardiovascular, orthopedics, and robotics sectors. The firm typically deploys check sizes ranging from $1 million to $10 million and integrates key opinion leader physicians into its General Partner model to provide clinical validation. Notable portfolio companies include AorTx, Inc., which Cannon chaired before its acquisition by a public company, and Setagon, where BioStar was the lead investor prior to a Fortune 100 acquisition. Cannon also serves on the boards of CardioVascular Ingenuity and Kona, leveraging his background as a principal investigator for landmark cardiovascular trials. A distinctive point of his approach is the “doctor as investor” model, which he describes as a new paradigm where physicians actively invest in the future of medicine rather
