Where Science
Meets Business.

Backing deep medical science teams at every stage—from seed to acceleration, globally.

Accelerate Innovation for Healthcare

Welcome to QInnovativ, where healthcare innovation meets strategic investment. We are not just investors—we are partners in transforming breakthrough ideas into thriving businesses that change lives.

Since 2012, we’ve been dedicated to empowering early-stage healthcare and medtech startups, particularly those led by brilliant scientific founders. Often, these innovators struggle to navigate the complex business landscape. That’s where we come in. At QInnovativ, we provide the business expertise, technical guidance, and financial backing that startups need to survive and thrive in the competitive healthcare market.

Our equity-for-service model combines hands-on business development, product innovation, regulatory expertise, and go-to-market strategies, all tailored to fit the unique challenges of each startup. We don’t just offer investment—we offer a partnership built to accelerate growth, bridge the “death valley” of startup development, and bring life-saving technologies to market.

By becoming an integral part of our portfolio companies, we help create dynamic, successful ventures that not only survive but lead in the healthcare sector. Together, we turn groundbreaking ideas into lasting impact.

Expertise

Rapid innovation, stringent regulatory requirements, and high market-entry barriers characterize the medical technology industry. Many promising startups struggle to navigate these challenges due to lacking resources and expertise.

qinnovativ addresses this gap and provides startups with the strategic guidance and technical support they need to bring their innovative solutions to market. Integrating the company resource into the portfolio companies ensures a mutually beneficial partnership that drives growth and success.

Our expertise lies in the following sectors:

Surgical Device

Surgery relies on precise instruments to explore, heal, and transform the body. From basic tools like clamps and forceps to advanced devices like linear staplers and ultrasound scalpels, we have deep expertise in designing and analyzing these critical devices.

Cardiology & Radiology

Interventional radiology involves minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging technologies and small tools like catheters. Advances in X-ray technology and CT scans offer safer alternatives to surgery, reducing radiation exposure for healthcare professionals. With the integration of analytic software and AI, doctors now have more precise diagnostic tools for better patient outcomes.

Drug Delivery

Consumer electronics and information technology are influencing more and more medical drug delivery. As a result, patients and caregivers expect easy-to-use, user-friendly and flexible drug intake solutions. For example, Auto-inhaler, Auto-injectors, and patch pumps can offer a much more intuitive and comfortable drug delivery for asthma, diabetes, or GHD.

Laboratory Equipment

By complete sequencing of the human genome, healthcare providers can prescribe the precise dosage and combination of drugs depending on the patient’s DNA and condition. In-vitro diagnostics (IVD) is quite possibly the fastest-growing sector of the diagnostic segment and opens up new emerging micro-industries. However, it requires highly specialized equipment and excellent component reliability. Are you also looking for a solution in Point-of-Care-Testing?

Medical Robotic

There is no doubt that robotics will become part of the medical and nursing activities of the future. Robotic assistance systems are rising, especially in minimally invasive surgery or cardiovascular disciplines. It does not matter if it is big or small; the robots need to learn how to assist humans and empower us to do more precise clinical tasks. But, again, big data and artificial intelligence are the keys, and fine mechatronics is the door.

Digital Healthcare

From healthcare to self-care; Today, patients have direct access to direct self-monitoring and domestic treatment technology away from health care facilities. Bluetooth enabled blood pressure monitors or wearable close-loop glucose monitoring kits represent a new way of treatment and shift therapy from the clinic to the patient ecosystem. Biosensors allow monitoring a wide range of data points, including vital signs, step counts and body posture, at a small cost. In addition, they are effortless to use and disposable form factor.

Long term value creation

Qinnovativ offers a unique equity-for-service model, providing medtech and biopharma startups with strategic expertise without heavy upfront fees. As investors, we offer hands-on support in business strategy, product development, and regulatory navigation, committed to long-term value creation and the success of the companies we back.

For our investors, we provide access to a carefully selected portfolio of high-potential startups. With a focus on sustainable growth and ROI, our rigorous selection process and active involvement ensure that each investment is positioned for long-term success and strong returns.
