Where Our Clients Launch

From regulated clinical devices to consumer health and lifestyle products—the same team and process powers every category.

Medical Devices

Class I & II devices, surgical tools, and clinical equipment.

Dental Products

Chairside tools, materials, and operatory innovations.

Health Software

SaMD, EHR-adjacent tools, and clinician dashboards.

Mobile Apps

Patient-facing apps, biofeedback, and connected experiences.

Wearables & IoT

Sensor-driven devices, firmware, and connected hardware.

Consumer Products

Retail-ready goods sold across Amazon, Shopify & major retailers.

Most clinical innovations die in the gap between idea and execution

You see the problem every day in practice. You know exactly what would solve it. But turning that insight into an FDA-cleared, manufacturable, fundable product is a different world—and most clinicians lose months or years navigating it alone.

Regulatory complexity

FDA pathways, classifications, and 510(k) submissions can derail a project before it ever ships.

Engineering & sourcing gaps

Clinical insight doesn't translate to design files, biocompatible materials, or vetted contract manufacturers.

Funding without a story

Investors back validated products with a clear path to market—not napkin sketches and clinical credentials alone.

We solve that.

Who We Work With

We partner with practicing clinicians and founders who have the clinical insight—and the capital to develop, prototype, and test before going to investors.

Physicians

Surgeons, specialists, and primary care physicians who've identified a clinical gap and want to build a device, app, or therapy that fills it.

Dentists & Orthodontists

Dental professionals creating better tools, materials, software, and patient-experience products for the operatory and beyond.

Clinician-Founders

Healthcare entrepreneurs ready to translate clinical experience into a fundable, scalable medical or consumer health business.

Full-Service Product Development for Healthcare Innovators

Everything you need to take a clinical idea from concept to commercialization—under one roof.

Concept validation

Pressure-test your idea against the market, the standard of care, and existing IP before you invest.

Industrial design & engineering

CAD, mechanical engineering, electronics, and human-factors design for medical and consumer products.

Software & app development

Patient apps, clinician dashboards, SaMD (software as a medical device), and connected-device firmware.

Prototyping & testing

Functional prototypes, bench testing, and iteration cycles to de-risk your design before tooling.

FDA regulatory strategy

Classification, predicate analysis, 510(k) pathway planning, and a roadmap for getting to clearance.

Manufacturing sourcing

Vetted contract manufacturers—domestic and overseas—chosen for the right scale, materials, and compliance.

Funding strategy

Pitch materials, financial models, and warm intros to angels, strategics, and grant programs (SBIR/STTR).

Launch & commercialization

Go-to-market strategy, branding, packaging, and channel selection for clinical and consumer markets.

IP guidance

Coordination with patent and trademark attorneys to protect your innovation before disclosure.

Navigate FDA Regulation Without Losing Your Roadmap

For medical devices and SaMD, regulatory strategy isn't an afterthought—it shapes your design, your timeline, and your funding story. We help you make the right calls early.

Device classification

Class I, II, or III? Exempt or not? We help you map your product to the right pathway from day one.

Predicate analysis

Identify substantially equivalent devices and structure a 510(k) strategy that leverages the cleanest pathway.

Submission planning

Design controls, testing requirements, and documentation strategy so your filing isn't a fire drill.

Regulatory partners

We coordinate with experienced regulatory consultants and FDA submission specialists when you need them.

Stoke Ventures provides product development services and regulatory strategy coordination. We are not an FDA-registered consultancy or a law firm, and nothing here is legal or regulatory advice. Final submissions and clinical claims are validated with qualified regulatory and legal counsel.

One partner. The whole product journey.

Most clinicians end up stitching together a designer, an engineer, a regulatory consultant, a manufacturer, and a fundraising advisor—then quarterbacking the whole thing themselves. We bring it all under one roof, so your idea moves faster and you stay focused on what you do best.

How we work together

Built for clinicians who are serious about building

We take on a small number of clinician-led projects each year so we can give each one the attention it deserves. You bring the clinical insight and the capital to develop, prototype, and test—we bring the team to make it real.

Phase 1

Discovery & De-Risking

We map your concept against the market, the regulatory pathway, and the cost-to-build before you commit to full development.

  • Technical & regulatory feasibility
  • Predicate & competitive analysis
  • Development scope & budget
Phase 2

Build, Test & Launch

Full design, engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing sourcing—run in parallel with regulatory strategy and a funding plan for the next milestone.

  • Functional, testable prototypes
  • Manufacturing & supply chain setup
  • Investor-ready package for production
