Mazor Robotics (MZOR)

[Phaeton]

Great article on why this company has a lot of room to run with $MDT as a partner.

Excerpt:
The $72 million invested by Medtronic (as of Sept 2017) has allowed Mazor to scale at a much faster rate then they ever would have without the capital.

Excerpt:
Medtronic also has warrants allowing them to buy another 1.2 million shares, which could bring their total investment to $125 million, or 14% ownership of the company.

Excerpt:
It's Not Just About the Money
It's not just the capital though, Mazor could get funding from anyone. What they received with Medtronic's money is an instant world-class sales organization that provides contacts and validation in the U.S.

Trust me, getting a product launched in the U.S. without a sales team, marketing and validation is virtually impossible.

This partnership is a win-win for both companies.

They are two companies that need each other. Mazor doesn't have the sales infrastructure in place and Medtornic's Spine division is a mess.
