Technology Assessment
Our due diligence process specializes in evaluating early-to-mid-stage ventures, mostly on the medtech, biotech or deep tech space. For example:
- Technical Viability Analysis: Evaluate the scientific foundation, technological readiness level (TRL), and feasibility of scaling from laboratory to commercial production.
- IP Landscape Review: Assess patent portfolios, freedom-to-operate, and potential IP vulnerabilities or opportunities in the competitive landscape.
- Regulatory Pathway Mapping: Identify applicable regulatory frameworks, certification requirements, and timeline/cost projections for market entry.
- Risk Identification & Mitigation: Conduct systematic analysis of technical, regulatory, and commercial risks with actionable mitigation strategies.
- Design controls: Is clinical data requirements in sync with human factor requirements
For advanced materials-based technologies, such as medical devices and advanced materials technologies, with deep expertise in biomaterials, implantable devices, and novel therapeutic delivery systems, we provide specialized evaluation including:
- Material characterization and performance validation against claims
- Manufacturing scalability assessment
- Biocompatibility and safety profile evaluation for biomaterials
- Supply chain and raw material sourcing analysis
