What You’ll Take Away:
Funding Strategies & Grant Utilization
In a challenging VC climate, non-dilutive funding sources like SBIR grants and pitch contests offer essential lifelines. Learn how early grant wins can shape focus, delay dilution, and de-risk product development.
Product Development & Market Focus
Discover how identifying a niche or beachhead market, from sports medicine to neonatal care, can streamline design, clarify messaging, and increase adoption. Engaging early and often with clinicians and patients uncovers real-world usability challenges that shape better products.
Strategic Advice: Focus, Pivot & Resilience
Resilience is key. Learn when to pivot based on user data, how to recover from setbacks, and why staying laser-focused on a single market opportunity builds stronger foundations than chasing every potential use case.
Team & Resource Strategy
Hear why a lean, capital-efficient team structure., using fractional experts across regulatory, engineering, and quality, is ideal for early-stage growth. Flexibility is more than a buzzword; it’s a survival strategy.
Regulatory Pathways & Reimbursement
Explore the trade-offs between 510(k) and de novo regulatory pathways, and how these choices impact reimbursement models and long-term commercialization. Case examples include pioneering FDA clearance for a neonatal therapeutic mattress that created a new category altogether.
