The Northeast Indiana Innovation Center (NIIC) announced today that Ram Healthcare Group LLC will be launching in its incubator facility in Fort Wayne, IN.
The RAM Healthcare Group LLC has developed a distribution and inventory management enterprise solution for the Orthopaedic Implant Industry. Using RAM-AE (Analytics Engine) developed by medical implant sales and distribution industry veterans, distribution expenses are dramatically reduced while providing inventory visibility throughout the supply chain. Currently, the orthopaedic implant industry spends over $1.5B annually in distribution and inventory management. The technology and distribution model developed by the RAM Healthcare Group can slash these costs by more than half.
“The RAM Group was established in St. Louis about 5 years ago,” said Nick Deeter, Company Chairman and CEO. “When I was asked to join the company, I first changed the name to RAM Healthcare Group, LLC and moved the business to Indiana. We wanted to affiliate with a community of like-minded, growth oriented, high tech, emerging growth companies. Since my last start-up venture, OrthoPediatrics, started at the NIIC and seven short years later has become a huge success. I thought it would be best to use the same business formula and venue with RAM.”
The RAM Healthcare Group management team will be raising $6,000,000 via a Private Placement Memorandum to a select group of private investors. The forecasted revenue in the fifth year of operation is over $112M.
“Ram Healthcare Group is a great client for us to help grow and accelerate,” said Mike Fritsch, NIIC Entrepreneur-In-Residence. “They have a great product that satisfies a big need with a seasoned entrepreneurial management team to help them get there.”
