UNIVERSITY & Healthcare INNOVATION

Project Medtech partners with universities and healthcare systems through highly flexible engagement models designed to catalyze early-stage innovation. By serving as a guiding light in roles ranging from entrepreneur-in-residence to a venture studio play or on-demand medtech consulting services, we provide the hands-on execution needed to bridge the gap between research and commercial reality. From opportunity assessment and program design to portfolio management, we act as an immersive resource for inventors, offering the deep industry expertise and medical device regulatory strategy required to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Project Medtech has been a strong partner for our community at 11000 Cedar. They bring a practical, no-nonsense approach to regulatory and commercialization work that early-stage teams can actually use. They're highly responsive, which our founders appreciate because their teams are moving quickly and making decisions in real time. The partnership between 11000 Cedar and Project Medtech is exactly the kind of support we want around our companies.

Opportunity Assessment

IDENTIFY IDEAS WORTH ADVANCING

We help create programs that better support inventors, surface viable opportunities, and connect innovation efforts to meaningful organizational outcomes.
