Industry

There are many prolific investors. However, companies need to find the best ones that fit their ideology. Having an expert opinion and research can be invaluable for companies to save time and prevent mistakes. We build investor profiles to understand each firm’s typical investment criteria, the geographies, the sectors, the stage, and the size. We take time to understand investment firms’ strategies, typical deal structure, continued-support approach and length of term to identify the best option for our clients. There are many sector-agnostic investment firms; however, typically, these will not have a technical understanding of the medical device sector to appreciate the innovation within the industry unless they have a specialised division within the firm.

Investors

The medical device industry is highly regulated to ensure the safety and efficacy of technologies. This is a costly process that clients may need financial support with to become or maintain compliance. Being sector-specific, we know that young companies in the industry need capital for various stages across different phases of establishment, these include:

• Expansion of geographical territory
• Regulatory process compliance requirements (FDA, CE, MDR)
• Research and development
• Broadening commercialisation
