Turning Ideas into Action and Action into growth

What does a "Flying Bridge" have to do with growing medical device companies?

This is a common question we get asked and it's really quite simple.  For those of you who are sailors or deep sea fishermen then you probably already know that a Flying Bridge is the upper most command and control deck of a vessel.  From this position captains can scan the horizon for fertile fishing grounds or identify potential hazards and safely navigate the ship.  

Admittedly we are boat people and fishermen so the analogy was just too hard to resist.  The metaphoric flying bridge is our position of industry and executive experience in both large and early stage growth ventures. From here we help guide companies (vessels) to growth opportunities (fishing grounds) while avoiding the pitfalls of inexperience or constrained resources (hazards).

The Flying Bridge Company was founded in 2013 and not only provides guidance and contracted resources to medical device companies but we have also invested in some early stage commercial ventures ourselves. 

While our customers benefit from our dedicated resources we are also fortunate to be able to draw upon a wealth of experience from our business advisor network.  These advisors all have a minimum of 20 years of experience each and collectively have either founded or served at an executive level in over 15 early stage companies.  Suffice it to say, if we don't know the answer, we can find the answer.

Our mission is to be a growth catalyst for medical device companies by providing insight, ingenuity, understanding and the application of resources shaped from our commercial successes and grounded in best practices.

Let us help you navigate the sea of opportunity in today's medical device marketplace
