Market Entry Strategy

Navigating New Market Opportunities

A client looking to expand into a new market needed a tailored market entry strategy. Our team conducted in-depth market research, competitor analysis, and customer segmentation to guide the entry process.

We crafted a roadmap that outlined the optimal entry strategy, identified potential partners, and evaluated key risks. This helped the client successfully enter the market, build brand recognition, and establish a foothold in a competitive space.

Project conducted by: Randy

Client: A digital pathology startup

Objective: Provide an SaMD client (AI biomarker prediction → precision therapy) a clear reimbursement strategy and detailed implementation plan.

Randy evaluated critical decision points that can lead to a delay to market, as related to FDA (pre-)submission, CLIA lab buy-borrow-build, pursuance of ADLT status, and AMA CPT coding. 

Other Deliverables:

  • In-depth HCP (oncologist/pathologist/Lab Director/COO) interviews 
  • Advised on CLIA/no-CLIA reimbursement strategy after engaging the key government regulator
  • Financial modelling for purchase incentivization of hospital central labs

Outcome: Client pursued the recommendations to (1) raise additional VC funds, (2) build a 2-year go-to-market plan, (3) tailor their sales strategy, and (4) pursue a hospital billing pathway.
