The Challenge

Capital Cost Barriers Impeding Life-Saving Innovation

An early-stage medical device company developed a breakthrough hospital-based infection control platform with the potential to transform patient outcomes. Despite its clinical promise, the traditional capital equipment pricing model created insurmountable adoption barriers for cost-sensitive healthcare systems. With no commercial infrastructure and limited market validation, the path to revenue remained blocked by hospital procurement realities.

Ibex Passage creative thinking, deep insights and disciplined work helped launch us into the market

They helped us establish our product and corporate positioning, while crafting our initial pricing and go-to-market strategy and materials.  In addition, while serving as our initial commercial leadership, they helped us recruit, hire and train our first salespeople. Now we’re launched and on a path to a very successful first year in the market.  Though our engagement with them has wound down, I continue to count and rely on their wise counsel as we navigate commercial challenges and opportunities. I recommend them with enthusiasm and confidence.”
