Dean Kamen

Segway inventor Dean Kamen, now on leave from Beta Technologies board, was a longtime adviser who helped route public money to the Vermont aviation startup.

Dean Kamen will recuse himself from leadership at ARMI while a review is conducted related to his repeated contacts with Jeffrey Epstein.

FIRST's board of directors says it has hired a law firm to review Kamen's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, days after newly released documents show the two men shared a relationship over a number of years.

Prominent NH businessman Dean Kamen has said his interactions with the convicted sex trafficker were “limited.” But newly released documents from the Epstein files show the men shared a relationship that spanned several years, and included travel, emails and phone calls.

The photo appears to show Kamen riding a Segway along with Ghislaine Maxwell, who helped aid Epstein’s abuse of women and girls.

Kamen’s name appeared in a previously released flight log from 2003. In the newly released photo, he’s pictured alongside Jeffrey Epstein and billionaire Richard Branson.

The U.S. Commerce Department announced $504 million in funding July 1. The Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute, based in Manchester, NH, is the lead agency in the ReGen Valley Tech Hub.

More than $215 million in federal money is pouring into ARMI, a nonprofit that promises to revolutionize medicine and revitalize Manchester, New Hampshire. At least $34 million is flowing through ARMI to for-profit companies controlled by its executive director.

The venture, spearheaded by inventor and businessman Dean Kamen, recently got an additional $44 million in federal grants.

Dean Kamen sold $83 million worth of PPE with the State of N.H. acting as a ‘middleman’ in a unique arrangement with the Segway inventor.
