CASE STUDY | MedTech | US

How the right VP of Clinical Affairs unlocked £3.5m in Series B funding

The Challenge

A US-based MedTech startup was approaching its Series B raise with a critical gap: no VP of Clinical Affairs. Investors had flagged the absence as a risk. Without the right person in place, the round was in jeopardy.

Our Approach

We worked directly with the founding team to define not just the role, but the profile that would give investors confidence. We ran a targeted search across our MedTech network, presenting a shortlist of four candidates within three weeks. All four had direct experience navigating FDA regulatory pathways at a comparable stage of company growth.

The Impact

The appointment was made in six weeks. The new VP joined ahead of the investor roadshow and was cited directly by the lead investor as a factor in approving the round. The company closed £3.5m funding it would not have secured with the leadership gap still open.

Medical Device • R&D Build-Out

Buy In or Build?

Challenge

An early-stage medical device company faced a choice: continue expensive outsourced R&D with limited IP control, or build an internal team in Manchester without an existing talent network.

Solution

Impact

Within four weeks, a full R&D team — five senior engineers and a QA/RA Director — was onboarded. Contractor costs dropped, clinical trials accelerated by six months, and the company achieved full IP control with clear development ownership.

Private Equity • Leadership Assessment

Avoid C-Suite Hiring Mistakes

Challenge

A private equity firm targeting 40 MedTech acquisitions in five years saw 67% of deals underperform due to leadership risk. They required rapid, rigorous C-suite assessment to accelerate deal flow while minimising people-related uncertainty.

Solution

Impact

C-suite evaluations were completed within two weeks, enabling faster deal decisions, stronger portfolio confidence, and measurable risk reduction — delivering institutional-grade leadership intelligence at transaction speed.

Class III Device • FDA Readiness

The Talent Needed for FDA Approval

Challenge

A Class III medical device company preparing for FDA approval faced critical Quality and Regulatory staffing gaps. After six months of unsuccessful searches with generalist recruiters, progress on e-QMS implementation and audit readiness had stalled.

Solution

Impact

The company stayed on track for FDA submission, improved compliance capability, and regained leadership confidence. Sustainable growth and investor milestones were achieved with a strengthened operational foundation for long-term expansion.
