BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation Inc. announced its investment in Madison-based SpayVac, a drug release technology that allows for successful sterilization of animals with a single injection. Originally developed by a Canadian company for other applications, the SpayVac is now focused on the animal health market, initially targeting the feral animal mitigation market.
The company has contracts worldwide to address feral horses and deer and has received inquiries on pigs, fish, primates, and even cats and dogs. The company anticipates expanding from the feral market to companion animals, eventually eliminating the need for surgical procedures for household pets.
The 2022 Brightstar portfolio also includes Shine Medical Technologies, Fetch Rewards, and GrocerKey.
