You're building something that could genuinely help people. Let's make sure you build the right thing first.
We work with healthtech founders who have a strong clinical vision but face a maze of stakeholders, regulatory constraints, and competing product directions. We help you work out what to build, in what order, and how to get it into the hands of the people who need it.
Healthtech is harder than most founders expect
The clinical problem is clear. The vision is compelling. But the path from idea to adopted product is full of decisions that can send you in the wrong direction: who are you really building for, the clinician or the patient? What does NHS adoption actually require? How do you balance regulatory compliance with speed? What should you build first when everything feels urgent?
We've worked inside Johnson & Johnson MedTech, with NIHR HealthTech Research Centres, and alongside a number of healthtech founders at different stages. We understand the regulatory landscape, the NHS procurement reality, and the product decisions that make or break adoption.
We're not generalist consultants who'll apply a standard product framework to a sector they don't know. We bring real healthtech experience to every conversation.
Challenges we help healthtech founders solve
The questions that stop progress when you're trying to move fast.
"We don't know who to build for first"
Clinician, patient, commissioner, or trust IT team? Healthtech has more stakeholders than almost any other sector. We help you map the landscape and sequence your product decisions around the people who will actually drive adoption.
"We're not sure what we need to prove to get into the NHS"
Clinical evidence, economic evidence, integration requirements, procurement pathways: we help you understand what you actually need at your stage, and what you can build toward rather than try to solve all at once.
"Everything feels high priority"
When the clinical stakes are real, it's hard to say no. We help you work out what not to build as much as what to build, so your limited runway goes toward the things that matter most for adoption and growth.
"We need to validate with real patients or clinicians"
Through our Participation Studio, we run ethical research with patients, carers, and clinical staff. We understand NHS research governance and how to get meaningful insight quickly without cutting corners.
"Our team is building but we're not sure it's the right thing"
Development is expensive and time is short. We help you pressure-test your product direction before you commit more resource, surface the assumptions you haven't tested, and give you clarity on what should ship next.
"We're pitching to investors and need a credible roadmap"
Healthtech investors want to see a clear adoption pathway, not just a clinical problem. We help you build the product strategy and evidence base that makes your pitch credible and your plan defensible.
Why healthtech founders work with us
Real healthtech experience
We've worked inside J&J MedTech and with NIHR HealthTech Research Centres. We understand clinical pathways, regulatory requirements, and what NHS adoption actually takes. We won't apply a generic startup framework to a regulated sector.
We understand your stakeholder complexity
Patients, carers, clinicians, commissioners, trust IT, NHS procurement, and executive sponsors all have different needs. We help you map this landscape and build a product strategy that works across all of them, not just one.
We help you decide what not to build
The hardest decisions in healthtech aren't what to do. They're what to deprioritise, what to stop, what to say no to. We make those calls with you, so your runway goes toward the right things.
Ethical research capability
Through Participation Studio, we run research with patients, clinicians, and clinical staff. We understand consent, NHS research governance, and how to get rigorous insight quickly. Real evidence, not assumed clinical need.
