About · Mission

# We exist because medtech founders _deserve a straight answer_.

MedTech Launch Guide is the independent education hub for the people building the next generation of medical devices, diagnostics and connected health. We translate FDA, CMS, ISO and CISA into plain English - and pair it with a live tape of what actually moved this week.

What we do

## Educate

Plain-English explainers for FDA, CMS, ISO and cyber - written for founders, not lawyers.

## Surface

A live tape of clearances, recalls, funding rounds and M&A so you never miss what moved.

## Protect

Make cybersecurity, QMS and post-market obligations cheap to learn and expensive to ignore.

## Connect

A working directory of investors who actually write medtech checks - filtered by stage and geography.

The founder journey

## Seven parallel workstreams. One company.

Most founders treat these sequentially and lose 18 months. We map them in parallel because that is how the survivors actually run.

Independence

## Editorial independence is non-negotiable.

We accept sponsorship to keep the guide free. Sponsors never see drafts, never approve copy, and never get coverage in exchange. Sponsored content is labelled inline and at the page-level.

If we report on a sponsor - including a recall, an enforcement action or an investigation - we report it the same way we would report on any other company.
