🚀 Thank you for joining our MedTech Venture Builder Masterclass on Scaling HealthTech Companies – Capital, Team, Talent, and Timing. 🚀 Led by Ian Coyne, Client Partner at Coulter Partners, alongside esteemed speakers Kelly Klifa, CEO and Co-founder of Ally Health, and Ruth Coleman, Investment Manager at Mercia Ventures, this session offered invaluable insights for MedTech founders dedicated to sustainable and strategic growth. 📚 Key Takeaways from the Event: 1️⃣ Strategic Business Support: Technical founders can progress far without direct commercial expertise when they have knowledgeable advisors or board members who offer essential business guidance. 2️⃣ Building a Strong Board: A robust board is crucial—not only as a vehicle for capital acquisition but as a pivotal element in scaling teams and ensuring strategic alignment. 3️⃣ Cap Table Strategy: Establishing a clear, sustainable cap table early on is fundamental for supporting long-term growth and transparent financial planning. Our sincere thanks to Ian, Kelly, and Ruth for their thought leadership and to all attendees for fostering such an engaging discussion. #HealthTech #StrategicGrowth #ScalingCompanies #Founders #Innovation

About us
The London Institute for Healthcare Engineering (LIHE) at King's College London brings together world-class research and development expertise across academia, the NHS and MedTech companies all co-located within a landmark building overlooking the Thames and embedded within the St Thomas’ Hospital campus. Going beyond a typical accelerator, LIHE is the ground-breaking translation engine from medical technology innovation to clinical and commercial adoption within St Thomas’ Hospital campus, part of England’s leading NHS Trust for patient recruitment to clinical studies. Thus collocated, LIHE uniquely brings together King’s research excellence, GSTT's leading clinical practice and the MedTech sector’s commercial innovation power and talent, while simultaneously providing physical space in the heart of London to start-ups, SMEs and multinationals. Translation of innovative technologies into the NHS for therapy and diagnosis is complex and requires multidisciplinary teams (clinicians, physical scientists, engineers, industry, regulatory advisors, health economists, commercial). Many novel technologies fail due to poor understanding of the challenges surrounding clinical practice, manufacturing, diagnostic/treatment pathways, clinical adoption mechanisms, regulation, and the payer landscape. LIHE will ensure MedTech spin-outs and start-ups successfully overcome these hurdles by creating a unique, supportive ecosystem of all critical stakeholders. Our mission is to transform patient care by creating a seamless pipeline of MedTech innovation, from conception to commercialisation, enabling early NHS adoption of cutting-edge technology from King's, London, and across the UK. We will be launching our inaugural acceleration programme in 2024. If you are a MedTech spin-out, start-up, or are interested in making innovation a reality for the benefit of the NHS and of patients, come and speak to us!
