Join us for a FB IDEAs Lunch & Learn with Hub Member Octive Consulting, who supports Medtech innovators through the “Valley of Death”. Tom Harris helps teams navigate this stage using the GAITS innovation maturity carousel.
Medtech innovators in the post-incubator, pre-major investment phase often find themselves in a "valley of death" where grant funding has tapered off but institutional or VC capital is still out of reach. This funding gap is compounded by a lack of investor education regarding regulatory pathways, clinical validation, and reimbursement, causing many to focus on the wrong signals.
To navigate this critical juncture, experienced consultant Tom Harris provides targeted support by leveraging the GAITS innovation maturity carousel. By guiding companies along the framework’s four key domains—Technology, Clinical, Market/Business, and Regulatory—Tom ensures that development does not become skewed toward technical achievements at the expense of commercial viability. This disciplined, balanced approach not only de-risks the project but also equips founders with the ability to articulate a structured, credible roadmap to investors, proving that they have the right partners and the right plan to reach patients.
Light lunch will be provided.
