Lifeblood represents the indispensable force driving success in the MedTech industry. Just as lifeblood is vital to living organisms, our services are essential to MedTech companies, providing them with the talent and strategic guidance they need to thrive. The name "Lifeblood" was inspired by the belief that talent is the lifeblood of MedTech startups.
Our mission is to connect innovative MedTech companies with the best talent and strategic guidance. We believe in fostering a culture of innovation, integrity, and excellence. Lifeblood is deeply embedded in the MedTech ecosystem, acting as a crucial partner in the journey of MedTech startups by representing their brands, protecting investor interests, and maintaining confidentiality with industry professionals.
We uphold the highest standards of professionalism and are dedicated to nurturing the growth of the MedTech community through our unwavering commitment to our clients’ success.
Founded with the vision to support MedTech innovators, Lifeblood has grown into a global leader in talent recruitment and advisory. With decades of experience and over 2,000 successful placements, we have empowered numerous startups and SMEs to thrive in the competitive MedTech landscape.
Our journey began with the recognition of the critical role that talent plays in the success of MedTech startups. Over the years, we have expanded our services and built a robust network of industry veterans, establishing ourselves as a trusted partner in the MedTech industry.
On our podcast, I ask every entrepreneur and investor, “Do you believe that people and money are the lifeblood of MedTech startups?” All guests have responded, “Yes”. This response got us thinking. If entrepreneurs and investors believe that human and financial capital are the lifeblood of MedTech startups, and our core competencies are talent acquisition and fundraising strategies for MedTech startups, then we genuinely provide access to “lifeblood capital” for these startups. When we answered “yes,” we realized we had found our name.
With our name decided, the next step was to create a logo. During a family holiday in Vermont, we held a dedicated brainstorming session. We pondered two key questions: “What do the journeys of MedTech startups symbolize?” and “What do we do for MedTech startups?” After much deliberation, we stumbled upon the Babylonian concept of squaring the circle, a symbol of pursuing the impossible. We believe that MedTech startups embody this spirit of relentless pursuit.
A few days later, we had another creative session—this time, at a bar in Boston. We simplified what we do to support the MedTech industry. On a napkin, we sketched the squared circle on top of an “L” to symbolize that Lifeblood supports pursuing the impossible. We were happily surprised when we realized that we now had both an “L” and a “b” for Lifeblood. The L and the squared circle have imperfect edges representing the imperfections of startup development, and a crisp square around them to symbolize our commitment to professionalism.
Ultimately, we designed a new category of talent recruiting company. Unlike commodity recruiting firms, our process is 100% tied to the MedTech industry. We live and breathe the industry. We go above and beyond what other firms do, and we have been proudly helping MedTech startups and SMEs with talent acquisition, advisory services to help them raise capital, and connections through our community.
Hundreds of MedTech companies have hired our services because we provide best-in-class support. We would be delighted to serve you as well. Let's work together to bring your vision to life.
Sincerely,
Giovanni Lauricella, CEO
