From clinical insight
to commercial reality.

Stone Bridge Biomedical · Maastricht

We build medtech ventures
alongside the clinicians who envision them.

Stone Bridge Biomedical is a virtual venture builder for early-stage medical device and digital health companies. We work with clinician-founders — those who understand the clinical need, have a point-of-view solution, and need an experienced partner to build a company around it.

We get in early, stay close, and hand off cleanly. From first incorporation through to a funded, staffed, self-sustaining operation.

01

Company Formation

Incorporation, governance, IP structuring, founder equity, and the operational scaffolding required to attract serious investors.

02

Commercial Strategy

Business model, value proposition, market analysis, reimbursement pathway — built around the clinical evidence, not around the technology.

03

Regulatory & Clinical

Regulatory strategy, clinical evidence planning, and standards compliance. We map the path to market clearance from day one.

04

Funding & Pitch

Grant applications, angel and seed investment preparation, investor narrative, and financial modelling grounded in clinical and commercial reality.

Built and exited — not just advised.

"Four companies co-founded from concept to commercial stage. One acquired in a 7× transaction. Over 30 granted patents. A decade at Medtronic as Research Director and Bakken Fellow."

Stone Bridge is powered by a principal — a biomedical engineer, serial medtech entrepreneur, and former Medtronic Research Director — with deep roots in both the technical and commercial dimensions of medtech. The difference is experience on both sides of the process: as founder and as advisor.

What an engagement looks like.

Who we work with

We work best with clinician-founders who have an identified clinical need, an early-stage solution, and the conviction to build a company around it. We are not a consultancy for companies that already have in-house leadership. We are the partner you bring in when there is no in-house leadership yet.

Typical engagement runs one to three years — from initial formation through to handoff to a permanent management team.

What we bring

  • Hands-on technical and commercial leadership
  • Company formation and corporate governance
  • Regulatory strategy (EU MDR, FDA, MHRA)
  • Grant writing and investor pitch preparation
  • Clinical evidence strategy and planning
  • Reimbursement and market access analysis
  • Vetted network of specialist resources

If you are a clinician-founder with an idea worth building, or an investor conducting technical diligence on a medtech or digital health opportunity, we would like to hear from you.
