9 THE WEEKLY GLEANER | JULY 24 - AUGUSt 24, 2025 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | ADVERTISEMENT Lester Hinds/Gleaner Writer NEW YORK, NY: ARE YOU ready to take a bold new step in growing your investment portfolio? If you are, you are invited to invest in KIC Ventures, where your funds can significantly impact not only your financial future but also the future of spine surgery technology. KIC Ventures, a Boston-based technological manufacturing company, is offering Jamaicans an opportunity to invest in the company in an effort to build generational wealth for Jamaicans. Owned by Jamaica-born surgeon, Dr. Kingsley Chin, KIC Ventures has several footprints in Jamaica The company’s mission, he said, is to revolutionise spine surgery by developing best-in-class, less exposure advanced spine technologies (LEAST) that prioritise patient safety and outcomes first. “We are dedicated to advancing the philosophy of less exposure spine surgery (LESS) through our companies: interventional spine innovation (NANISX) for interventional physicians, outpatient spine innovation (LESS Spine), and our revolutionary viscoelastic total disc replacement (AxioMed) for orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons. By providing healthcare providers with the tools to reduce the poor outcomes of traditional spine surgery worldwide, KIC Ventures aim to enhance the wellbeing of patients and support surgeons in delivering better care. “The demand for spine surgeries is increasing, and medical device companies are generating millions and billions in revenue. Why shouldn’t we, as physicians, become the owners of the technologies we use? Why not invest our hard-earned money in the things we know best, like treating patients? Our devices are highly innovative because they are developed with direct hands-on feedback and recommendations from physicians who use them. We are unique in being a company founded by physicians with technologies developed by physician users” said Dr. Chin. “When I invested $100,000 in 2006 to start developing spine technologies, I did not foresee the potential for us to become a multibillion-dollar company. It was not about the money then, but now we see that by serving the needs of patients, we can grow into a valuable company worth billions. Today we are proudly growing NANISX profitably year over year since 2021 with positive EBITDA and eagerly draw close to releasing AxioMed’s lumbar disc replacement to US surgeons in 2025,” he said. PHILANTHROPY Dr. Chin said that today his $100,000 investment has grown into a $300 million valuation at KIC Ventures, and he owns over 50 per cent of the company. “What if we grow to $5 billion and you invest today? That would mean over 15 times the return on investment. “I implore you to seriously consider KIC Ventures as an investment opportunity and become an owner of groundbreaking technologies. I am grateful to all our investors, physicians, and invest in yourself,” said Dr. Chin The demand for spine surgeries is increasing, and medical device companies are generating millions and billions in revenue. On the philanthropic side, KIC Ventures has invested mainly in the football fraternity. The company currently owns, The Portlanders Football Club in Portland and is a major sponsor of the Cavalier Football, a finalist in the Jamaica Premier League competition On the medical front, KIC Ventures boasts several Jamaicans as patients who have had the company’s devices implanted to correct spinal problems. KIC Ventures currently holds more than 100 United States patents for spinal devices manufactured by the company. KIC Ventures has over 20-years investments in diverse innovations for spine surgery. UNIQUE PATENTED TECHNOLOGIES KIC Ventures noted that with a rapidly growing ageing population globally, the low back pain market, with 619 million affected in 2020 and expected to rise to 843 million people by 2050, presents a significant investment opportunity. “The increasing prevalence highlights the urgent need for innovative treatments in this expanding sector,” the company notes on its website. It notes further that at the core of its strategy is an urgent but disciplined approach to selecting niche areas where its strengths lie, aiming to develop best in class solutions with significant market growth potential over the next decade. He said that KIC Ventures has quietly built a multi-billion-dollar technology portfolio of unique patented technologies that will change how spine surgeries are performed globally. “For the next three-five years, the US government is our partner in a deal that pays them 50 per cent of any sales of a portfolio company and five per cent of our revenues, yet no Jamaican has invested in me,” he said. “Our technologies have been used to treat many patients in Jamaica and around the world, including those lucky to get the Axiomed Disc replacement,” he said. Noting that the Jamaican economy is mostly a service-based economy, Dr. Chin said that most investments are in the financial industry rather than technology. Dr. Chin, who is also a guest lecturer at the University of Technology in St. Andrew, noted that many graduates from UTech are unable to put their specialised technological knowledge into building technology companies that will transform the Jamaican economy.
