Business
Share of revenueWearable insulin delivery devices designed for people requiring multiple daily insulin doses.
Tubeless and simplified pump designs intended to improve usability and manufacturability.
FDA clearance, manufacturing transfer, and launch preparation needed to bring products to market.
Customers
The company targets insulin-dependent diabetes patients, especially people with type 1 diabetes and a growing type 2 population using multiple daily injections. It also sells through the healthcare channel, relying on diabetes educator practices, primary care physicians, distributors, and payors to support adoption and reimbursement.
Buy or are prescribed insulin pumps for continuous, wearable insulin delivery and better daily management.
Targeted as a larger, underpenetrated group that may adopt pumps if the device is simpler and lower cost.
Prescribe and train patients on pump use, making them a key channel for adoption and support.
Help reach daily insulin users who are not managed by specialist pump centers.
Strategy
The company’s strategy is to win adoption by simplifying insulin pump use, lowering training burden, and reducing cost versus existing devices. It is also shifting toward a more manufacturable next-generation product, Pivot, while building a channel model that combines distributors with a focused direct sales effort to diabetes educator practices.
The company needs first product revenue and real-world adoption to validate the platform and channel strategy.
Pivot is intended to replace MODD1 with a more usable and manufacturable product.
The company is trying to expand beyond specialist pump users into a broader diabetes market.
Geography
Modular Medical is headquartered and operates in San Diego, California, and all employees are located in the United States. The company currently focuses on the U.S. market, where it has FDA clearance for MODD1 and is preparing commercial launch, while also planning future foreign regulatory approvals.
Risks
The company is pre-revenue and depends on external financing, so execution risk and dilution risk are central. It also faces regulatory, manufacturing, reimbursement, and competitive risks typical of medical device commercialization, with larger rivals already established in insulin pumps.

Accounting
Judgemental itemsR&D is the main operating cost and is expensed as incurred, so it directly shapes reported losses.
