Illustrative Examples Highlighting Our Approach
Example A – Financial Readiness for Diagnostics Company: A diagnostics startup with promising early data was struggling to attract funding. HPS performed a full business model audit, developed a compelling investor pitch, and built a long-range financial model. Through our introductions and guidance, the company secured an oversubscribed $25M Series A, enabling completion of pivotal trials and product launch preparation.
Example B – AI Integration in Digital Health: A virtual care startup wanted to embed AI-powered triage tools into its platform but lacked the roadmap and regulatory clarity. HPS facilitated expert workshops, defined use cases, and created a human-centered implementation strategy that led to successful pilot programs with two major health systems. The company subsequently raised Series A financing with a strong clinical validation narrative.
Example C – Commercial Realignment for MedTech Company: A mid-stage medical device company had stagnated due to ineffective go-to-market execution and inconsistent sales. HPS redesigned the commercial strategy, instituted a new provider and payer engagement plan, and aligned internal KPIs with sales performance metrics. Within 12 months, the company reported a 40% revenue increase and was positioned for strategic acquisition.
Example D – Strategic Pivot for Biotech Startup: A preclinical biotech firm faced strategic uncertainty after a Phase I program delay. HPS conducted a full strategic repositioning exercise, identifying a faster path to value creation through asset out-licensing and collaborative development. We provided partner search, valuation modeling, and negotiation support, resulting in a $60M non-dilutive.
Example E – Operational Excellence in Scale-Up: A healthcare SaaS company struggled to scale post-Series A. HPS led an operational audit, redesigned workflow and SOPs, and instituted cross-functional OKRs. The company improved onboarding speed by 35%, reduced churn by 20%, and achieved its ARR target six months ahead of plan.
