The venture was co-founded by serial entrepreneur Dr. Alexander Arrow.  In 2015, Dr. Arrow was admitted to the EvoNexus Irvine location with an otolaryngology device company he was running called Zelegent.  Zelegent developed a surgical implant to treat snoring,” said Rory Moore, CEO and Co-Founder of EvoNexus. “Zelegent was acquired in 2020.  In 2019, Alex served on an EvoNexus panel evaluating startups applicants to EvoNexus, and voted to admit a personalized spinal implant company, Carlsmed, then joined the company as their CFO as and 4th employee. Carlsmed achieved its IPO in July 2025.  Virchow Medical was based on the simple observation that used biopsy needles discarded after biopsy procedures contain tens of thousands of tumor cells.  A device that could simply and consistently collect those tumor cells before the needle is discarded would provide an opportunity for millions of cancer patients to enjoy the benefits of genomic sequencing – and potentially avoid chemotherapy. The company’s initial product offering has expanded to include a liquid specimen storage system that will scale and allow oncologists to order molecular testing for their patients without relying on their pathology department to supply tissue (which is unavailable for 30-50% of cancer positive biopsied patients).   Virchow benefited from the deep bench of business and technical mentors that surround EvoNexus startups. One of the earliest mentors was Marco Thompson, a serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and community leader. Marco became Dr. Arrow's wingman in 2024 outreach to angel investors, and joined the company’s board where he still serves as the independent director.  Virchow has an opportunity to change outcomes for millions of cancer patients.” - [Oculi Named as a 4th Batch of IC Taiwan Grand Challenge Winners](https://evonexus.org/oculi-named-as-a-4th-batch-of-ic-taiwan-grand-challenge-winners/): "Oculi entered the EvoNexus Incubation program on December 21, 2022, as the pandemic was subsiding.

This past month, Oculi received a prestigious award from the Integrated Circuit Taiwan Grand Challenge. Add to that accomplishment the recent appointment of Patrick Henry as the new CEO of Oculi.
