Key Lessons from this Playbook

• Leverage partners with established distribution channels: Form partnerships with established entities that already have robust distribution channels for easier access to end users. These partnerships can also open up alternative revenue streams, such as integrating your technology into their existing product lines or earning usage-based fees, providing both active and passive income opportunities.

• Balance commercialization with clinical validation: Don't rush to market. Prioritize clinical trials, ensure proper reimbursement strategies, and verify the responsible use of your device to avoid harming credibility.

• Create an ecosystem around your product: Explore unconventional sales strategies like online marketplaces and app stores to create additional value for users, and to generate new revenue streams.

• Look for ways to enhance efficiencies: Develop solutions that minimize in-person visits, streamline processes, and shorten hospital stays to ease the burden on healthcare professionals and encourage adoption. 

  
  

• Seek mutually beneficial partnerships: Find early adopters willing to collaborate on defining success and gather valuable feedback. Determine your core strengths and focus on them, while partnering with companies that excel in areas where you lack expertise.
