Milestone Execution
Throughout my experience, one of the strongest lessons I’ve learned is how to find the right people for your organization, and how to identify the right milestones to grow the business. Let me help you identify the right milestones for your commercialization process.
Fundraising
Funding a venture comes in many shapes and sizes. I’ve pitched more than 200 investors working to turn my “no’s” into a “yes”. My companies have raised tens of millions and exited successful multiples back to our investors.
Univ. Tech Transfer
From negotiating licenses for technologies, to creating a lasting partner that can be an ally as you scale; working with university technology transfer is often an early hurdle that can turn into a strong asset for a burgeoning technology business. I understand the product commercialization process to bring research to the market.
Strategic Planning
Starting, growing and selling a business based around a complex medical technology requires focused strategic planning. Leverage my experience building strong, defensible IP; fostering and growing business partnerships; and negotiating from various positions of strength.
