We start, scale and sustain healthtech businesses. We work with founder teams at every stage, from start-up to scale-up and beyond.
We are founders and operators, not advisers by trade. We have personally founded and led health and technology companies through growth, and our team and network bring private and public sector experience across almost every discipline a founder needs. We know what it takes, and what it feels like, to be a founder on that journey. The idea behind Northern Forge was simple: be the kind of people we'd have wanted around us in the early days.
Why
Strategy. We help founders decide where to play and how to win: product, market and go-to-market, sales and marketing, competitors, funding, regulatory and quality, legal, people and brand.
What
Plan. We set the plan for scale, break it into the tangible steps that will deliver it, agree how success is measured, and prepare the business for the next stage before it arrives.
How
Detail. We get into the detail of how it actually gets done: people, brand, technology, sales and marketing, and how the business scales and reaches its market.
When
Delivery. We execute as well as plan. We set the pace and do the work in whichever discipline you need, filling the gaps in your current capability until the team is ready to carry it.
