Notes de l'éditeur
- Always a part of startups – either from Cordis where 20 years ago they had just divested the majority of their company and decided to pursue the angioplasty market where I launched their first angioplasty balloon and conceived and launched their first SGW. Or, as one of two people hired by US Surgical, a lap GS company, to bring them into CV marketplace. And, as the first employee beyond the founders at Converge Medical, an anastomotic device company, who just received $4M as a Series A and had one prototype.
- Continuous market researchCustomersCommunication to end user/consumer
- Endomyocardial biopsy forceps10 years of ACS and USCI SGW and PTCA. ACS Hi-Torque Floppy had 80% market share. Everyone said that there was no improvement needed.
- Cordis: SGW concept – MDs, NursesFiberOptic Sensors: Non medical device folks except for the CEO, CCF involvement only, LAP was a critical measurement in all cardiac surgery. Replacing $20 device.Heartport: NYU NDR input, nonstandard length.Advisory board: Sign up 12 – 6-8 at calls and focus groups. Situations may change for a few that fall out.Smart, practicing or retired. Set expectations for time commitment and offer choice of options or money. Monthly 1 hour call at set time and call in. Quarterly meet at major shows, member sites and once a year at company. Hands on as possible. You are planting seeds--your very first marketing seeds.
