Madorra is empowering women to live fuller, richer, healthier lives. Our first product is changing the paradigm for treating vaginal dryness by providing a medical device solution to a problem that has previously only been served by pharmaceuticals. We’re giving postmenopausal women and breast cancer survivors the power to choose the non-hormonal treatment option they want. Madorra has developed the first, non-invasive, non-hormonal medical device to treat vaginal atrophy. This is an easy-to-use, at-home device, providing both immediate and long-term benefits.

iRhythm is a digital healthcare company redefining the way cardiac arrhythmias are clinically diagnosed by combining our wearable biosensing technology with cloud-based data analytics and machine- learning capabilities. Our goal is to be the leading provider of first-line ambulatory electrocardiogram, or ECG, monitoring for patients at risk for arrhythmias. We have created a unique platform, ZIO by iRhythm, which we believe allows physicians to diagnose many arrhythmias more quickly and efficiently than traditional technologies, avoiding multiple indeterminate tests, allowing for appropriate medical intervention and potentially avoiding more serious downstream medical events, including stroke.

THE THIRD ROCK TEAM Our team has a proven record of translating disruptive technologies into valuable business enterprises.

A FORMULA FOR INNOVATION We only invest in the best of those ideas. We are actively involved in the early stages of our companies’ development, typically serving as members of the founding management teams, to build a strong foundation, put in place the right people and culture, and set the companies on a path to scientific and operational excellence. We believe in the companies we launch and make big initial investments, often complemented by strategic alliances, to enable our companies to advance life-changing therapies, devices and diagnostics.
