Neurosom™ has announced the imminent close of an oversubscribed bridge round, a strong validation of our mission to transform deep and REM sleep into a therapeutic pathway for long-term brain health.
The round was led by Portland Seed Fund’s Intrepid Oregon Fund, with participation from the Loomis Family Trust, OEN Angel Syndicate, and ONAMI, positioning the company to accelerate clinical progress and product development as it advances toward a priced Seed Round in the first half of 2026.
With recent FDA clearance of NEAT™, expanding clinical collaborations, and continued development of our Sleep WISP™ platform, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Neurosom™.
Why Deep Sleep Matters As You Age. Aging doesn’t just change how long we sleep — it changes the kind of sleep we get.
Deep sleep, in particular, plays a critical role in physical recovery, brain health, and overall resilience. This well-written article breaks down how aging affects our sleep architecture, what each sleep stage means for the body’s recovery process, and practical ways to support more restorative nights.
Worth a read if you care about long-term health and performance.
Neurosom is thrilled that our CEO, Viral Sheth, will be attending the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco next month, Jan. 12-15th.

Feel free to contact Viral through the bio partnering app if you would like to set up a meeting or learn more about Neurosom's mission to optimize sleep and promote brain health.
Scientists in France published a study showing that seniors who used EEG neurofeedback training successfully modulate Gamma-band synchronization.
Gamma-band synchronization, a form of brain activity, is important for everyday cognitive function and memory, yet we all tend to lose this functionality as we age. In this study by French scientists, some elderly individuals successfully trained their minds through neurofeedback, achieving Gamma-band synchronization. However, the level of success varies based on individual neural dynamics.

Cara Turano, Yalda Moshiri, Rylee O'Brien, and Sarah Norris, you've gone over and above for our company, and we can't wait to share our vision of better brain health with the rest of the world.
Neurosom is a finalist for the Angel Oregon Life and BioScience program.
We are finalists for the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network Angel Oregon Life and BioScience program, and the winner will be announced tonight and receive a $100,000 investment check! Our CEO, Viral Sheth, will attend and present our vision for better brain health, and regional investors will have the opportunity to invest in the local Oregon companies.
Tap Into Capital
As the winners of the 2025 Oregon Entrepreneurs Network Stage Award—recognizing the progress our team has made in advancing Neurosom™ technologies—we were also honored to participate in the Collaborative EDO PubTalk “Tap Into Capital,” where founders from across Oregon shared their latest innovations and growth stories. It was an energizing night for the region’s startup community and a great opportunity to showcase how our technology is reshaping the future of sleep health. Watch the full presentation
A new study on Alzheimer's disease shows that clearing out plaques may not restore the brain's waste clearance system.
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan have published a new study where they found that the Alzheimer's drug Lecanemab removes amyloid plaques from the brain but does not restore the brain's ability to clear those plaques. The brain waste clearance system, or glymphatic clearance, as scientists have named it, is the critical function that removes the toxic waste of the brain, which causes neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Collaborative EDO PubTalks: Tap into Capital, this Thursday from 5–7 pm at Claim 52 Brewing in Eugene, OR.
We’re excited to share that our CEO, Viral Sheth, fresh off his win of the Oregon Entrepreneurs NetworkDevelopment Stage Award, will be presenting at the Collaborative EDOPubTalks: Tap into Capital, this Thursday, 5-7 pm at Claim 52 Brewing in Eugene, OR.
Neurosom wins the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network Development Stage Award.
Neurosom's CEO, Viral Sheth, accepted the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network Development Stage Award last Thursday night at the Hilton Hotel in Portland, Oregon. OEN has provided Neurosom™ with critical support and mentoring throughout 2025 as we advance our mission of personalized brain care, sleep therapy, and reduced dementia risk.
New study shows Alzheimer's may be driven by poor sleep patterns.
A new study published in Nature Neuroscience suggests that Alzheimer's disease disrupts the body's circadian rhythms, which in turn shut down genes that regulate proper brain function and the ability to clear the brain of waste and harmful materials, like amyloid plaques. Erik S. Musiek, MD, PhD, the Charlotte & Paul Hagemann Professor of Neurology at WashU Medicine, who led the study, finds hope in the new science.
Neurosom is honored to be a Development Stage Finalist at the @Oregon Entrepreneur Network Awards!

Neurosom is very grateful to be chosen as a finalist for the Angel Oregon Life & BioScience (AOBIO) investment program.
This incredible platform run by @Oregon Entrepreneur Network has given us much guidance this year in the form of regular workshop meetings with successful PNW CEOs, investors, and leaders in the business community, as well as opportunities to perfect our networking and pitching strategies. We have gained much insight and focus from this opportunity and have also enjoyed meeting this lovely group of supportive people. See OEN announcement: https://lnkd.in/gV5DAjtj
Join us for this free webinar showcasing research that informs personalized, non-invasive therapies to enhance deep sleep and cognitive resilience.
Rotem Falach, a PhD candidate in Professor Yuval Nir’s Lab at Tel Aviv University, will showcase how open-source analytics and HD EEG are advancing understanding of sleep-dependent memory consolidation and Alzheimer’s-related neurophysiology.
Our CEO Viral Sheth, will present Neurosom™ at Bend Venture Conference (BVC) as a Finalist in the Early Growth category.
Neurosom sits at the intersection of brain health and digital therapeutics. With the Sleep WISP™, and our FDA-approved AI software, we can deliver clinical therapies for patients and, over time, wellness solutions for proactive brain care, making restorative sleep accessible at scale.
On the road to the Bend Venture Conference (BVC), October 16 and 17. Neurosom's mission is to address one of the greatest health issues of our time: dementia.
Every three seconds, someone in the world develops dementia. Current solutions fall short: medications sedate without restoring brain health, while consumer wearables only track sleep but don’t improve it.
Our Sleep WISP™ system is a simple, wearable headband that can be safely self-administered at home — but it does much more than track sleep. It monitors brain activity in real time using EEG.
Neurosom is an Early Growth Finalist in the Bend Venture Conference
As we approach the Bend Venture Conference on October 16 and 17, Neurosom™ is gearing up to share our mission to optimize sleep and reduce the risk of dementia. Our company was founded by neuroscientists who pioneered innovations in brain monitoring. Through studying the brain, scientists learned that deep sleep is essential for clearing toxic proteins from the brain through the glymphatic system, the brain’s waste removal pathway. When deep sleep is disrupted, glymphatic clearance fails, memory suffers, and neurodegeneration accelerates.
