Sure, Vicarious has big money and big names behind them... but Medtronic has big CREDIBILITY behind them, and THEY are working with TITAN. To the best of my knowledge, Geoff Martha is not in the middle of a messy multi-billion dollar divorce while trying to fight assertions that he spent a little too much time taking the Porsche out at lunch to nearby motels or flying around in Mr. Epstein's minor-laden jet. Mr. Martha has thus far maintained a highly respectable demeanor in his professional AND personal lives, and I believe his leadership will provide a much more stable basis for Titan's future than relying on Mr. Gates' rapidly dwindling credibility and reputation.
Ah, yes, Becton Dickinson... the world leader in Surgical Robotics! Credibility galore in the market space! Oh, wait... Must be someone else.
And who's bending over? No, this isn't the venue to discuss those minors on the jet plane.
Reputation means a lot. It might be a good time to stop name-dropping names that could find themselves in jail by this time next year.
Even Mr. McNally's reputation is actually, factually, quite solid. All doubts about his credibility and reputation are solely from this very message board, contributed by folks who have reasons to wish ill will against the company he is leading. But in reality, he has successfully led a couple medical device companies, one he sold outright to Moog and another which he merged with Omniguide. His history is all success. He even runs a non-profit charity with his wife, doesn't he? And if his biggest score has taken little more time than initially hoped, so be it. It should prove to be well worthwhile.
So the combination of Mr. McNally and Mr. Martha leading this project is top tier; both are of upstanding character and proven top level professional capabilities.
And it is much more on point for discussions on this board to be centered around these two gentlemen instead of vicarious, BD, and Bill Gates.
