Heartflow Inc. continued the steady rhythm of med-tech companies filing to go public, with an S-1 submitted to the U.S. SEC on July 17. The company joins 15 others that have completed IPOs in 2025 and one other in process – Carlsmed Inc., which a company spokesperson told BioWorld is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq on July 22.

Carlsmed Inc. launched its IPO at a price of $14 to $16 per share for 6.7 million shares, which would raise just over $100.5 million at the midpoint. The spinal surgery technology company could well pull in more money, if recent history provides guidance. Most med-tech IPOs this year have settled at the upper end of their price range, with Caris Life Sciences Inc. notably raising its price twice before going public at $21, a dollar more than the top of its initial range.
Historically, Q2 has often been one of the strongest quarters for biopharma financing, but 2025’s figures suggest a more cautious investment climate. Biopharma companies raised $16.02 billion in the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, a modest increase from the $13.11 billion brought during Q1. While the uptick signals some recovery from Q1, the sector is still pacing well behind the highs of recent years.
