History

Intersect ENT was founded in 2003 by Don Eaton who conceived of the product over dinner with ENT surgeon, Mary Lynn Moran, MD. The company received its Series A funding in 2006, prompting the hiring of a team to develop the product. It was originally headquartered in Palo Alto, California, then moved to Menlo Park, CA in April 2012 to a new 32,000-foot facility. The facility houses all of its business and manufacturing operations.

Prior to the company becoming public, venture capital investors in the company include medical device company Medtronic Inc. and venture capital firms Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, U.S. Venture Partners, PTV Sciences and Norwest Venture Partners. In 2013 it received $30 million in a series D round of financing led by Norwest Venture Partners, and included all named investors. Intersect ENT announced that the funding would be used for commercial expansion of its PROPEL and PROPEL mini devices, as well as clinical studies for additional devices manufactured to add to the company's portfolio of drug-delivery products.

In 2014, Intersect ENT went public on the NASDAQ with an offering of 5,750,000 shares of common stock. It began officially trading on July 24, 2014.

In August 2021, Medtronic announced that it would acquire Intersect for $1.1 billion.
