Former Medtronic CEO and current Intel Chairman Omar Ishrak is one of the leaders of a new health-tech company that has filed for a $750 million initial public offering.
Compute Health Acquisition Corp. is what is called a blank check company, hoping to build itself by investing or buying businesses that are at the intersection of computation and health care.
Compute Health could start with strong ties to the company Ishrak led as CEO from 2011 to last spring. Medtronic has expressed interest in buying 1.5 million units in the IPO, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
