    This $10M round of new financing was led by Chartered Group, who previously 
invested in Zsquare, and who have a strong presence and broad networks in East 
Asia and Japan, signaling full confidence in Zsquare's technology and abilities 
going forward.

    Disruptive technology, broad applications 
Zsquare's platform offers the only ultra-thin, flexible, high-resolution, 
single-use endoscope that enables access to unserved indications and improves 
usability and diagnosis quality in commonly practiced indications. The 
endoscope's unique single-use properties eliminate the risk of infection caused 
by contaminated, reused endoscopes, and dramatically reduce healthcare costs.

    At the core of Zsquare's endoscopes are its unique 0.45mm square fibers, 
which provide a distinctive building-block-style modularity. Starting from a 
single-fiber imaging endoscope, additional medical indications can be addressed 
as more fibers are bundled in, with enhanced functionality and performance that 
include higher resolution, 3600 angulation, 3D capabilities, extended depth of 
field, extended field of view, and more. Zsquare's special combination of 
single-use, flexibility, tiny dimensions, and high-resolution imaging is a 
breakthrough in endoscopic technology, delivering higher performance in a 
smaller package than any current endoscope, giving the physician, for the
first time, the best of all worlds.

    "Zsquare is set to revolutionize the landscape of endoscopic care by 
introducing a game changing modular, single-use concept, opening the door to 
endless new and exciting integrations in the minimally invasive care world," 
says Eyal Agmoni, Chairman of Chartered Group. 

    According to Asaf Shahmoon, CEO and co-founder of Zsquare, "This investment 
is a vote of confidence in Zsquare's unique platform. We firmly believe that 
our endoscopes will not only transform current practices, but also democratize 
procedures, by expanding the reach of endoscopic-assisted care to outpatient 
clinics and developing-world settings."

    About Zsquare:
Zsquare, a privately-held medical device company with headquarters in Israel, 
develops single-use, high-performance endoscopes to enable access to unserved 
indications, improve performance in current practices, and solve the industry's 
cross-contamination problem.
