Apply now and join a community of founders who share wins, struggles, and practical insights to take your health or life science startup to the next level. Medtech startups have the potential to transform healthcare, but getting from an idea to real-world impact isn’t easy. That’s why Sting exists: we’ve been there ourselves, and we’ve built a network of investors, industry experts, and alumni who share not just successes, but the messy, tricky parts too.

Here are three challenges medtech startups face most often – and how we help founders tackle them:
CE marking, MDR compliance, clinical evidence, documentation… it’s a lot. But it doesn’t have to stop you.
How Sting helps:
“We guide founders with our experience and connect them to regulatory pros or peers who’ve been through it,” says Johanna Wollert-Melin, Business Coach at Sting. “Starting structured and early saves time, stress, and money later.”
Medtech sales cycles are long, procurement is tricky, and reimbursement models aren’t always clear. This can strain investor confidence.
How Sting helps:
“We help startups build strong business models, focus on the right customers, and communicate value clearly,” says Olof Berglund, Business Coach at Sting. “We also connect founders to funding, strategic partners, and early customers, the lifelines that help you grow while waiting for the bigger wins.”
Medtech requires a rare mix of skills: tech, clinical insight, regulatory knowledge, quality management, and commercial execution. The wrong hire at the wrong time can cost dearly.
How Sting helps:
“We’ve built countless startup teams, helping founders find the right mix of people at the right moment,” say Olof and Johanna. “A great team is often the difference between a startup that stalls and one that scales.”
Yes, medtech has higher barriers than many other tech startups, but the long-term value and societal impact are huge. With guidance at the right time, these obstacles become competitive advantages rather than roadblocks.
