Building a MedTech startup or Surgical Robotics Startup? You are likely to fail...

I have built multiple MedTech startups... crashed a fair few and had many successes. I helped build CMR Surgical - a MedTech Unicorn that just signed a $400 million agreement with Stryker. I have 35 years of medtech experience and actually formed, built, run, crashed and exited medtech startups. I have a lot of scar tissue for you to learn from 

I help MedTech Startups Survive and then Thrive

Too many people still think that a great startup is about having a great idea. Well sorry to tell you it's not. A lot of great ideas are sitting in MedTech graveyards because the team was inexperienced and made the same exact mistakes thousands of other companies have made over the decades.

You don't need to be one of those disaster stories.

​​

​

I've taken 35 years of lessons and scar tissue and crammed them into this site so that you do not repeat those same mistakes I made, and other have made. I spent two years picking the brains of medtech startup leaders to get to their secrets of success... and the biggest and most common mistakes they have all made. I've put that into an online course you can access below.
Much of that knowledge is also in a field manual you can carry with you, and reach into the lessons as you go on this medtech journey.

"You don't try and fly a plane until you learn to fly. Don't do that with a MedTech startup unless you want to crash it."

​

I care that you are successful. I'm sick and tired of great ideas just dying because of stupid mistakes. Don't pay the stupid tax. So to help you I've stacked this site with resources you can access.
