Medtech Exit Strategy for Startups & SMEs

Plan Early, Maximize Value

We help founders, boards, and investors navigate early exits through M&A, aligning development with buyer priorities, reducing risk, and creating optionality before it’s too late.

Considering an M&A early exit for your medical device startup?

Exiting a medtech company is rarely just a transaction. It’s the culmination of years of development, collaboration, and trust.

We help founders, physician-inventors, and Boards plan and execute early exits that align the right partners for a durable transaction that's optimized for all stakeholders.
Our approach is discreet, analytical, and partnership-driven. We understand the science, the strategy, and the human side of every deal.

Amanda determined our medical device exit strategy and executed it skillfully to a successful outcome. As an investor, significant return on your investment is far from guaranteed but Amanda's ability to see the big picture, rally influential champions to our cause, and compel and negotiate with strategic acquirers resulting in a rewarding exit.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any medical device startup contemplating an early exit.

Why Most Early MedTech Exits Fall Short

Professional Services Tailored for YouText element

01.

Poor Timing

Many founders wait too long to consider an exit, missing strategic timing windows.

02.

Lack of Objectivity

Boards often lack objective, buyer-informed insight, leading to misalignment or rash decisions.

03.

Inadequate Intel

Investors may struggle to evaluate risk or identify credible opportunities in their portfolios.

As an industrial designer, I've worked with Amanda on several M&A exit projects and can attest to the accuracy of her insights into the market and potential acquirers and how that should inform initial product development or subsequent tweaks. 
She recognizes that medical device startups operate on limited budgets and works well with technical teams to get the technology to just where it needs to be to attract buyer interest.
