Eric M. Stone

Eric M. Stone is the co-founder and CEO of Velano Vascular (medical device for needle-free blood draws), a New York-based operator with a clinical-device background. His angel pattern is digital health and tech-enabled care delivery at pre-seed and seed, $25k-$100k checks. AI focus not flagged. New York-based, US scope. Honest read: a sitting CEO writing small angel checks is by definition a part-time investor; expect limited bandwidth and conviction-driven, founder-led decisions. Best fit: New York-based or northeast healthcare founders at pre-seed or seed, especially anyone with a credible clinical-device or hospital go-to-market story where Stone’s Velano experience translates; tech-enabled care delivery models that need an early operator-angel with real hospital scar tissue. Entry path is LinkedIn (responsive given the smaller profile) or warm intros through the Velano network and New York healthcare community. Not a fit for biotech, US-payer-facing digital health platforms, AI-first plays, or anything with a long pre-revenue capital need. Expect detailed questions on hospital procurement and clinical adoption; expect less depth on payer or consumer-health questions.
