OncoPatch, Inc. (https://oncopatch.com) — Co-Founder David Westerly presenting, is a medical device company developing a non-invasive radiotherapy patch for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer.

Non-melanoma skin cancer incidence exceeds all other cancers combined, with more than 5 million lesions treated annually in the U.S. Today, most patients undergo surgery, an invasive procedure that can result in pain, scarring, and recovery time.

OncoPatch provides a non-surgical alternative using patches that contain the beta-emitting isotope yttrium-90, delivering targeted radiotherapy directly to the lesion. The treatment can be completed in as little as one 30-minute session in a dermatologist’s office. The result is effective cancer treatment with reduced invasiveness and improved patient experience.

Our target market is dermatologists and outpatient dermatology clinics in the U.S. who need effective, in-office alternatives to surgical excision and are willing to pay for improved patient outcomes, convenience, and differentiated treatment offerings.
Our competition is surgical excision, Mohs surgery, and topical chemotherapy treatments. Our competitive advantage is a single-session, non-invasive radiotherapy solution that reduces procedural burden while maintaining clinical efficacy.

The total market size in 2024 is the U.S. non-melanoma skin cancer treatment market, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $8B+.

Top 3 challenges:

  1. Selling into dermatology practices and navigating adoption barriers
  2. Overcoming early-stage limitations in clinical data
  3. Scaling a clinical service model to support device rollout and training

Our PitchBoulder ask: We are currently raising a $2.5M seed round and are over 50% committed. We’d welcome conversations with interested investors and candid feedback on how to strengthen our pitch from an investor’s perspective — particularly around clinical validation, regulatory strategy, and go-to-market execution.
