Masters Special Situations

ir.venusconcept.comsenseonics.com

Masters Special Situations, LLC (MSS) is an Atlanta-based healthcare growth investment manager, co-founded in 2020. Issuer releases describe investment in innovative small-cap public companies in North America. It is an affiliate of Masters Capital Management, LLC, with Michael W. Masters as controlling founder; the affiliate and its Marlin public-market funds are separate legal entities. MSS-backed transactions include Greenbrook TMS, which provides transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression, and Venus Concept, whose AI.ME robotic medical-aesthetics platform was supported by its December 2021 financing. Legal investment vehicles include MSS GB SPV LP, MSS VC SPV LP and MSS SENS SPV LP. SEC filings identify Michael Masters as managing member and historically identify Anthony Raab, Gregory Pope, Michelle Dobbins and co-founder Robert Higgins as managing directors. A current dedicated MSS staff directory and standalone authentic MSS logo have not been verified. Robert Higgins now holds an executive role at CongruityHR and is represented here as a historical MSS co-founder. Parent Masters Capital staff and assets under management are not treated as MSS staff or fund closes. Published stock ownership, facility commitments and zero-sold fund offerings are not new cash raises.
