Physician-led clinical customer discovery advisory for pre-seed to Series B healthtech and medtech founders.

Reviews your interview guide, opens warm clinical introductions, coaches you through the calls, and synthesizes findings into a written memo. The work happens before you have product strategy conviction. The output is whether the clinical need you imagined matches the one clinicians actually live with.

A clinical advisor lends a name and shows up monthly. A CMO is a year-plus commitment with equity. We are productized. Tier 01 is $2,500 and starts inside a week. You buy the work, not the relationship. If the work compounds we go deeper. If it does not we both move on without overhang.

Tier 01 Discovery Sprint at $2,500. Tier 02 Discovery Package at $7,500. Ongoing Clinical Advisor at $3,500 per month. Full Clinical + Market Access at custom scope. All flat fees, no equity, no retainer minimums beyond what is stated.

Pre-seed through Series A. At pre-seed, discovery determines whether the clinical problem you are solving is real and urgent. At seed and Series A, it validates that your solution fits the workflow of the buyer you are selling to. After Series A, the clinical narrative is usually set — the work shifts to KOL engagement and market access, which is a different engagement.

No. A3HCS does not take equity, advisory shares, or any form of deferred compensation. All engagements are flat fee, paid at engagement start. This keeps the advice independent — the recommendation is what the data shows, not what benefits an equity position.

Tier 01 includes three warm clinical introductions. Tier 02 includes five. Ongoing Clinical Advisor includes ongoing introductions as the relationship develops. Introductions are to physicians and clinical leaders in the relevant specialty and care setting — not cold LinkedIn messages. They are based on existing relationships, and A3HCS briefs the contact before making the introduction.

Primary care, hospital medicine, neurology, psychiatry, emergency medicine, care transitions and discharge planning, post-acute and home health, and health system operations leadership. Strongest network is in Midwest health systems and physician groups. Introductions outside that geography are evaluated case by case.

Tier 01 Discovery Sprint runs two weeks from kickoff. Tier 02 Discovery Package runs four weeks. The Ongoing Clinical Advisor retainer runs monthly with no fixed end date. All timelines start from the day the engagement is confirmed — not from when the contract is signed.
