Biomotum
Biomotum is a Portland, Oregon medical-device company developing wearable robotic assistance for people with neurological conditions affecting walking, including cerebral palsy and stroke. Its SPARK ankle-assistance technology combines wearable robotics with adaptive control to support gait rehabilitation; its current website describes international pilots and a 2026 launch. The official leadership directory lists co-founders Ray Browning as CEO and Zach Lerner as CTO. SEC filings identify Biomotum, Inc., incorporated in Delaware in 2019, and the earlier name Biomotum, LLC. Verified funding includes NIH SBIR and STTR research awards, private securities offerings and backing from Elevate Capital's Innovation Gap Fund I. The company was selected for an $80,000 BVC Impact investment in 2020 and an approximately $300,000 Angel Oregon life-sciences investment in 2022; those competition announcements may overlap its reported private offerings and are not added to an aggregate funding total. Its research grants are distinct from private investment. Clinical approval and a complete employee roster have not been established by the reviewed sources.
