M&A Deal Lead for Medical Device Companies
A White-Glove Medical Device M&A Advisory for Sub-$25M Strategic Exits
Early-stage medical device acquisitions are not driven by volume outreach or generic deal processes.They are driven by strategic fit, timing, and disciplined execution — guided by an advisor who understands how medical device acquirers evaluate early opportunities.
This is a high-touch, founder-centric M&A Deal Lead service designed specifically for medical device companies pursuing early exits under $25M.
Medical device founders pursuing an early exit face a structural problem in the North American M&A market
Most investment banks do not engage on medical device deals below ~$25M
Traditional M&A brokers lack the technical and regulatory context required for medtech
Founders and boards are left navigating acquisition conversations without a clear process or leverage
At the same time, strategic acquirers actively pursue early-stage technologies — but only when the opportunity is positioned correctly and introduced at the right moment.
This service exists to bridge that gap.
What This Service Is
As your Medical Device M&A Deal Lead, I assume responsibility for designing, managing, and executing the acquisition process, while the founder and leadership team remain focused on running the company.
This is not intermediary brokerage.This is strategic M&A leadership for early-stage medical device companies.
