• Fund raising and cash management.
• Regulatory issues (FDA classification, Quality Management Systems, Sunshine Act, etc.)
• Customer and revenue generation (who is the “user” and who are the decision makers- complicated in a hospital situation) and then reimbursement (how do you get paid?)
• Grant and IP decisions and process:
• Should you apply for an SBIR or STTR grant? Which one? How? Upsides/downsides?
