Role in Patient Care

Bringing innovation to patients

MedTech is a large and growing market. The worldwide MedTech market will achieve sales of $754 billion by 2028, up from $547 billion in 2021. Given the significant gap in access in low and middle-income countries, it is safe to estimate significant growth in all sectors of this industry.

The good news is that most valuable innovation in MedTech happens in start-ups rather than in large corporations. There is thus a very important role start-ups play in bringing innovation to the patient.

"Unfortunately the path to the patient is long with many hurdles making it a challenge for the start-up to navigate."

The Startup Challenge

The critical gap: lack of domain expertise in MedTech commercialization

Complex Navigation

The path from innovation to patient impact involves regulatory hurdles, clinical validation, reimbursement challenges, and market entry complexities that are unique to MedTech.

Domain Expertise Gap

Most startup founders have strong technical or clinical backgrounds but lack experience in MedTech commercialization, market dynamics, and healthcare business models.

Market Entry Strategy

Understanding surgeon behaviors, hospital procurement, value-based purchasing, and stakeholder management requires deep industry experience.

Making the right strategic choices early can save years of effort and resources. Wrong choices can be fatal for startups with limited runway.
