StartingBlock's Lunch with a Founder featuring Ankit Agarwal

We're kicking off 2026 with a local founder who's changing the standard of care in wound treatment.

Ankit Agarwal, Founder of Imbed Biosciences

Ankit founded Imbed Biosciences in Middleton, where his team has developed SAM™ Antimicrobial Technology—a fully synthetic, antimicrobial wound care platform that's revolutionizing how surgical, burn, and chronic wounds are treated. Their products are now used across hospitals and clinics nationwide, and they recently launched a dual-action matrix that addresses both infection risk and pain management in a single solution.

This is a chance to hear directly from a founder who's navigated the complex intersection of medical device development, FDA approval, manufacturing scale-up, and commercialization—all while building a company right here in the Madison area.
