Medical device company Dexcom is launching its first venture fund. The San Diego-based company, one of a few competing for dominance in the market for continuous glucose monitors, plans to invest in technologies related to its core business and adjacent technologies.
Steve Pacelli, Dexcom’s executive vice president of strategy and corporate development, will lead Dexcom Ventures.
“While we have matured as a company over the years, we still consider ourselves to be a ‘start-up’ of sorts,” he said in a news release. “We feel well positioned to invest early and support our portfolio companies as they pioneer markets.’’

The National Grid Foundation recently awarded United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley a $250,000 grant to help local families in need pay for utilities this winter.
United Way will distribute the funds to 16 community-based organizations serving several communities hard hit by the economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis, including Haverhill and Lawrence. Community Action of Haverhill, Greater Lawrence Community Action Council and Lawrence CommunityWorks will receive a total of $50,000 to assist local residents.
“The loss of income created financial setbacks impacting the ability of many hourly workers to pay for their housing, childcare, food and utilities,” said local United Way President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Giannino.
