How Advisory Boards Can Help You Make Strategically Sound Decisions with Jordan Morrison, Founding Partner at Synera Advisory
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode is brought to you by Synera Advisory.
Most MedTech founders treat FDA clearance like it's the finish line. Jordan Morrison has an entire bookshelf of cleared devices that can't sell to prove it isn't.
She's Founding Partner at Synera Advisory, a physician-backed advisory group supporting founders from concept through commercialization. In this episode, she explains why so many MedTech startups run out of road after clearance, and what to do instead.
Here's what we get into:
- Why FDA clearance and a reimbursement strategy are two completely different things
- The difference between physician founders and engineer founders, and where each gets stuck
- How to build an advisory board without burning through equity
- Why US value analysis committees will kill your device if you can't make a financial case
- The lean three-person board structure that can take you to Series A
