Key Takeaways:

The Medevise board discussed the original promise of Medevise when it was founded in 2021, and what factors led the board members to commit to the company:

• Medevise addresses the biggest challenges that the board members have seen companies falter on and eventually fail

• Unmet market need: There are other businesses that provide each one of our primary services individually (market access and reimbursement, clinical and the regulatory, and communications), but there's no other group in the world doing all of them together

• High-level expertise in each discipline providing and business perspective, clinical perspective, regulatory perspective, clinician perspective

• Companies can access that expertise very quickly to address their specific need

• Medevise has the experience and processes to manage the complexity of the European market, including differing regulatory environments, and cultural and communications nuances.

• Committed to a high performance management system for strategic and intentional growth and operations

• Full-time dedicated staff

• Central point of contact for consolidated European market strategy and execution, rather than a complex network of multiple partners / distributors / regulatory opinions

The board also considered what they envision in Medevise’s future:

• Continued growth on the current foundation, and as global expansions become more complex, continuing to serve as a European partner for faster and smoother go-to-market

• Serving medical device markets outside the reimbursed system
